Delta County Schools were represented in the 2012 Colorado All State Choir performance on Tuesday, Feb. 7, in Denver. Five students from Paonia High and two students from Delta High were chosen through a tough audition process to perform with the Men's All State Choir and the Women's All State Choir. Students from all over the state gather together to practice for three days then present an amazing selection of musical presentations to a packed audience of parents, friends, family, teachers, and school administrators.

The Colorado Music Educators Association-sponsored event, sanctioned by CHSAA, brings in directors from various places in the country to work with the students. Dr. Janet Galvan of New York directed the women's choir this year. She explained to the audience how these students come together for a short three days to work together and consequently they become a "community," participating in an event that they will never forget.

Wendy Bodwell, director of bands in Paonia, and Tambyr Reed, director of choirs at Delta High School, helped the Delta County youth prepare for the event.
