However, at the concert, there were no judges. To get sweepstakes, the choir must receive all 1’s on both sight-reading and choral performance. So if a choir received a scoring of 1, 1, 2 they would receive an overall 1. So gradings rate from 1-5, 1 being the best and go by majority rules. So typically, pre UIL concerts have judges to show where you need improvement. For choir, those requirements are that you must sing 3 songs, one of which is A Capella (performed with no music), and must sight-read. There are many different UIL competitions other than choir like band, speech, debate, theater, and academics like math and journalism.

On Tuesday, March 18, the Grand Prairie High School choirs who are competing in UIL had what they call a pre UIL concert.įor those of you who don’t know, or might have forgotten, UIL stands for University Interscholastic League.

It was one amazing night.”īy Caitlin Sherrill, Editor-in-Chief(printed) I couldn’t believe that she is almost graduation. Olga Quinonez, a senior’s mother said, “I got so emotional when I started walking on the field with my daughter. The usual fans such as, Melissa Rivas, Alvarez, Christian Morfin, and Monica Solis were also present. Parents, family members, friends, teachers, and even some administration from the high school came out to support. The last time that the Lady Gophers played against Desoto, they beat them 2-0 too.Ī lot of people came out to support both teams on their game. The Lady Gophers ended the night by winning their game as well 2-0. It was amazing to see how hard the soccer team works.” Not only did we get to see our girls win, but we also saw our friends walk on their home field for the last time. Instead of the game starting at 8:00 the game started around almost 9:00 because the ceremony took too long.Ĭindy Alvarez, a senior at Grand Prairie High School, said, “I have attended to most of the girls soccer games and this was one of the best nights ever. This cause the girls’ soccer game against the Desoto Eagle Ladies began later than expected. Her letter was a little too extensive so it caused the ceremony to be elongated quite a bit. The first person to walk on the field was the varsity senior captain, Andrea Ibarra.

Since both, boys and girls soccer teams were going to have the ceremony together, the seniors were mixed. Senior night consisted of each senior soccer player to walk with their parents across the field, while their letter was being read out loud through the intercom. After beating the Eagles 6-0, senior night began. The boys soccer team had their game against the Desoto Eagles at 6:00 that evening. Boys and girls both had their senior night that day.

This past Tuesday March 18, 2014, Grand Prairie High School held the annual senior night.
