Congratulations to BISD seventh- and eighth-grade singers who recently competed at the Region 5 Middle School (MS) Choir auditions. With 29 schools from four different school districts participating, BISD schools dominated the competition by filling almost 50 percent of the coveted region choir chairs. These singers will perform at Martin High School in Arlington at 5 p.m. Nov. 14.  Thanks to the outstanding middle school choir directors and private lesson teachers that helped guide these talented singers.
