Mayo earns spot in prestigious choir

Heath Mayo, junior at Whitehouse High School, recently won a place in the TMEA All-State Mixed choir.

This was Mayo's second time to make the choir. Last year, he placed second chair, which is very rare for a high school sophomore.

This year, Mayo placed first chair over 19 other Bass I's from the East Texas and Dallas area.

TMEA All-State Choir is a very prestigious and selective choir. The audition process starts in the early fall, with more than 40,000 high school students auditioning statewide, and culminates with just 220 singers being placed in the choir.

Mayo will be traveling to San Antonio in February to perform with the choir under the direction of Craig Jessop, director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
