On October 19th, the Music Department hosted a recital prior to the National Association of Teachers of Singing vocal competition. According to Dr. Cornish, this recital gave students who were competing the opportunity to experience what the NATS competition would be like. Ten of C of O’s vocal students performed; however, three of the students prepared to perform in both Music Theater and Classical divisions. Each student performed beautifully and kept the audience in awe throughout the two-hour recital.
On October 21st, College of the Ozarks took the ten students to Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri for the NATS competition. The competition began with our three students competing in the Music Theater divisions. As the day went on, each student performed in front of their respective judges. The first, second, and third place winners were announced shortly after our final student performed. Two C of O students placed in their divisions. Lynsey Richardson, junior, placed second in Lower Division College Women. Jordy Hake, senior, placed third in Upper Division College Men.
