AMIS Honor Mixed Choir FestivalLast week, six talented singers attended AMIS Honor Mixed Choir festival at the American Em-bassy School in New Delhi, India. Since being selected by audition in October, the students havbeen working hard to learn the challenging repertoire, meeting weekly to put the soprano, altoand baritone parts together. Arriving in New Delhi, they rehearsed diligently for three days anthen performed two concerts singing in five languages with a combined choir from over 15 intenational schools. Congratulations to Won Joon Choi, Evie Coleman, Katelyn Grandy, WilliamKertzman, Sebi Matera and Emmy Nam for representing ISM so well through their exemplary pa

ticipation. The students also had a chance to visit some local bazaars and even see the Taj Mahal! A special thank you toMelodie Hausman as their coach and Carrie Grev for assisting with the festival.
