All-Region Choir Audition Postponed
Submitted by Tom Myers, LHS Chorale, September 23, 2008

Hurricane Ike is still copying his big sister, Rita. Just as in 2005, when Rita caused multiple school activities to be cancelled or postponed, Ike has caused the Region X High School All-Region Choir audition scheduled for September 27th at Nederland HS to be cancelled and re-scheduled for October 11. Because of the huge power/water/facility problems that many of our districts are dealing with, the location for this audition has not been decided at this time. For updated information, check the District Calendar at www.livingstonisd.com. or call the HS choir room after 2pm at (936)328-2261.
