On Monday, September 8th, auditions were held for the 2014-2015 Cunningham High School Main Street Singers. Students auditioned for a panel consisting of Mr. Jon Jon “Pierre” Albers – former MSS member, Mrs. Kathy Albers – parent of a former MSS member, Mrs. Lorene DeVries – parent of a former MSS member and Mrs. Jennette (Becker) Rogers – former MSS member. Thirteen students were selected based on the panels’ evaluation of the students’ auditions in dancing, singing and their interview (oral / written) and three faculty recommendations.
