“Ian Montgomery was selected to the VMEA (Virginia Music Educators Association) Honors Choir.

It is an audition only choir open only to seniors across the state. Much like All district choir and All Virginia choir auditions, the students have to perform a prepared piece and sight read. However, the audition music and sight reading for the honors choir is very difficult. Ian worked very hard, practicing on his own and with me since the beginning of school.

Most of the schools that have students selected seem to be from big areas such as Northern Virginia, the East Coast, Charlottesville, and Richmond. Only 3 students made it from our choral district (District 7) and Ian was one of them.

He will be going to Norfolk in about a month to practice with and perform at the VMEA conference. I am not sure when the last time CCHS had a representative to be selected to this choir but it has been quite a while.

Ian will be representing CCHS and Carroll County, and I know he will take this opportunity, learn from it and remember it the rest of his life.

He will not only get to perform with other students from across the state but work with a distinguished and renowned director, which knowing Ian, he will soak up everything he can!”

Congratulations Ian Montgomery and to Patricia Lineberry 👏 !

Day 3 of the Final 14 begins with some messages from Marion and Shelia Harris, then will end with some Bluefield Soccer ⚽️….

Welcome 🙏 to Wednesday !

I wanted to start out with a smile by noting that without posting anything on Facebook for three consecutive days the number of people reading the site has dropped back to below 50 per day.

If you’re reading this then you are one of the 50 and God Bless You for it.

The goal was to create a safe place where people in the area could go and gather up all the information about everything that happened in our Community over the past 24 hours. A balanced look, where everyone and everything gets treated equally.

The past 48 hours have included the National Honor Society and the debut performance for the Chorus students of 2024-2025. These two things are Monster Sized events that don’t take place on a Sports field and deserve to be treated as such.

Each morning I noticed that the number of posts out there are well into double figures and each done in great taste by a Proud parent or Family member. There is no shortage of folks creating a message (as there should be) of how proud they are of their Son or Daughter.

I did happily create a post 📫 from the Material that both Marion and Shelia Harris sent me. Their daughter is a part of the group and like 99% of the Families, they are incredibly proud of their youngest ❤!

I am proud of the Post 📫 but then again, I am proud of every post that I create. Marion sent me enough information about one of the very talented people that performed that I can create a second post.

I will do that here in a minute and then have to move it over to Facebook. The next thing that I will need to do is guess at the correct names to Tag in it because if I choose poorly then the Post will be left out to die other than Trish Clontz ( this is why I Love 💘 Trish).

The young man 👨 that its about deserves better than that fate. He deserves to have his story told in the same manner as all others.

It wasn’t for lack of effort, that I can promise you! Patricia Lineberry works as hard as anyone else in the Carroll County High School system and her Students deserve the same light and it bothers me that I couldn’t get the job done for her and for them.

Off to the Doctors office 🏢 here in a bit and then its to the East River Soccer ⚽️ Complex for the Final Home 🏡 game for KK Newman.

Have yourself a Blessed Day !

Music 🎶🎵 to Our Ears ! Carroll County Chorus takes the stage on a Tuesday night 🌙.

Just 24 hours after Carroll County High School celebrated the 100 new members joining the National Honor Society, Patricia Lineberry led her Musicians onto the stage at the High School.

Write up for tonight’s fall chorus concert!!!

Words from Patricia Lineberry:

Tonight, the choirs at CCHS brought their “A game”. Everyone has worked extremely hard to bring an evening of beautiful music to the audience. I am so proud of their hard work and it truly payed off tonight. These students love being around each other and singing together and it shows. I had several step out of their comfort zone and that is truly one of my favorite things to see.

Each choir was challenged in different ways either with things likely learning new techniques or even a specific song, but their willingness to learn and determination to give their best performance, allowed them to accomplish things that they didn’t initially think was possible at the beginning of the semester. I cannot begin to state how proud I am of my choirs! Now…on to Christmas.

Two alumni Bethany Melton and Nathaniell Dalton, walked in and the place exploded with joy and you see a dozen or so running up to them and hugging them. The chorus is a huge family and once a Cavalier always a Cavalier!!!!

The program guide…

Both Marion and Shelia Harris helped with the creation of this story as they are just two of many, many people that appreciate the level of dedication it takes to lead this level of a group as Patricia Lineberry does and the level of commitment that each of the performers has to have !

We will also have a separate story on one of the performers later on this morning 🌄. Congratulations 👏 on hitting such a High Note last night !
