Update, May 9: The Hyattsville Middle School CPA choir, having earned straight superior ratings of 1's at the County Festival a few months ago (including a 39/40 on sight-reading), was adjudicated at the state festival on May 6.

At the state festival, performing and sight-reading at a level-three (the middle school maximum is level-four), they were one of only about four middle school choirs to earn straight superior ratings of ones at the state level.

At the state festival, the choir also earned a perfect 40/40 on the sight-reading.
Keep watch for information about the Superiors Concert at Bowie High School on May 13th.
