Lyons Upper Elementary School -

Kinsley Jeter, a 5th grader at Lyons Upper Elementary, participated in the Georgia Music Educators Association’s Statewide Elementary Honor Chorus. Approximately 300 of the best elementary singers in Georgia gathered at the Classic Center in Athens to rehearse and perform challenging and beautiful choral arrangements. At the finale of the concert the students performed a choral arrangement of Bill Withers’ song, Lovely Day. The finale included a solo part which Jeter auditioned for and received. The entire choir accompanied Jeter as she performed beautifully for a packed out Classic Center theater audience of about 2100 people. To simply be chosen to attend the Statewide Elementary Honor Chorus is a tremendous honor, but to receive the one solo for the evening truly distinguishes her in a class by herself. Jeter represented Toombs  County and Toombs County Schools well as she sang beautifully on the stage.
