Local Musician makes National Chorus
by Kori Jensen
A sea of 55,000 blue jackets will watch
as the spotlight shines on Emily Garcia and the National FFA Chorus
during National FFA Convention in Indianapolis this fall. She was
selected with about 100 other FFA members from around the country
to perform with the FFA honor choir. Emily submitted an audition
tape and written application in May and was notified in August of
her acceptance. The choir will perform several times during the
82nd National FFA Convention adding excitement, energy, and
entertainment to the national meeting. Emily will arrive in
Indianapolis for her first rehearsal on October 17th and perform
October 21-24 before returning home on October 25th.
Emily Garcia is the daughter of Toni Roberts and Scott Garcia. She
has performed with the State FFA honor choir for the past three
years. This year she is a senior and serving as the President of
the Mead FFA chapter.
