The four winning schools were recognized on Thursday, December 7 at 11:00 a.m., on Fox 13.
“We are proud to once again support local high school choirs in partnership with Kurt Bestor,” said Sterling Nielsen, chief executive officer for Mountain America Credit Union. “As an avid supporter of education, Mountain America sees the importance in the skills and values that choir students develop, helping them along their paths to successful futures.”
Utah high school music/choir departments were invited to submit a musical selection, of any genre, on Bestor’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/KurtBestor) in November. The general public was invited to watch the submitted videos and vote for their favorite choir. Bestor and a panel of music experts listened to the choirs for tuning, blend, performance and overall musicality. This accounted for 70 percent of a choir’s score, and the online votes accounted for 30 percent.
