During the 2017-2018 school year, along with other talented music students across the United States and overseas in military base schools, Lindsey Spritzler practiced with dedication and the help of NPHS Music Department Chair, Mr. Matthew Klenk, to gain a part in the Pennsylvania State Music Honor Ensemble.
And now, senior Lindsey Spritzler will join the "best of the best"as a Soprano I in the NAfME 2018 All-National Honor Mixed Choir at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. The Mixed Choir will perform on November 27 in the ballrooms at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.
The All-National Honor Ensembles (ANHE) performers represent collaboration and creativity in its highest musical form. The All-National Honor Ensembles consist of a jazz ensemble, mixed choir, guitar ensemble (new this year), symphony orchestra and concert band. Students were chosen through an audition process. Lindsey Spritzler will perform in a group of 240 vocalists that make up the All-National Honor Mixed Choir who have qualified for their state-level honor ensemble program and competed against top students for a spot in these national honor ensembles.
Selected students will be rehearsing a challenging repertoire in preparation for performing under the baton some of the most prominent conductors in the United States. Lindsey Spritzler and the All-National Honor Mixed Choir will be directed by Dr. Amanda Quist, who has received top honors in her field and will spend several days rehearsing with students before the concert.
