Steubenville High School students, from left, Andrew Brown, Mia Loy, Matthew Miller and July Dettore are lending their voices to the Ohio Music Education Association’s All-State Choir during the OMEA Professional Conference this January. The students submitted recorded auditions and were chosen to appear with more than 165 other teens from across Ohio to perform at the Greater Columbus Convention Center on Jan. 29-31. They will work with composer and music educator Rollo Dilworth, who currently serves as a professor and chair of the Music Education and Music Therapy Department at Temple University in Pennsylvania. Steubenville pupils have taken part every year, with as many as nine selected for one performance. SHS Choir Director Scott Wolodkin said the All-State Choir was a great opportunity because not only do the students perform with the state’s best choir members, but they also spend three days working with a world-renowned choral director.
