Bowling Green High School Women’s Chorus and Chorale receive Superior ratings at State OMEA Event

The Bowling Green High School Women’s Chorus and Chorale both competed at the Ohio Music Education Association State Adjudicated Event held at Van Buren High School on Friday, April 26. 

Both choirs received the highest rating of a “I” or “Superior.” Bands and choirs are scored by the OMEA rating system. They can receive the scores of I, II, III, IV, or V. A score of I is Superior, II is Excellent, III is Acceptable, IV is Poor, and V is Very Poor.  The choirs had to receive a superior rating at the OMEA district event in March in order to earn the right to compete at the state level. 

The Women’s Chorus competed in Class C and is comprised of 35 members in grades 9-12. They have not performed at state since 2009. 

The Chorale competed in Class A and is comprised of 50 members in grades 10-12. This is the 6th consecutive year that they have received a superior at the state event.  

Both choirs are under the direction of Beth Vaughn.
