Four Washington Middle School students have been selected for the elite Opus Honor Choir. The students are Kevin Flannery, Alecia Goff, Allison Rees and Bailey Rees. The sixth-grade singers practiced before school working on scales, a song in Italian and My Country Tis of Thee. First-year middle school choir director Cailee Wenger explained Opus is a select group with only 720 positions, and over 3,000 students auditioned. The concert will be held November 17th in Ames.
