Shining Star CLE & COYC Auditions
Shining Star CLE is an inclusive solo singing competition allowing Northeast Ohio high school students to compete for college scholarships and the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Chorus was founded in 1991 to raise interest in choral music within the schools of northeastern Ohio, and to encourage more students to continue their choral activities through college and into adulthood.
These are two events that HHS are open to any current freshmen, sophomores, or juniors. For more information as well as audition dates/deadlines, please click on the links below.

Seniors:
Please make sure that you are represented in our senior slideshow by sending a baby & senior picture to Madi Davidson. Be aware that the slideshow is meant to be a "Guess the Senior" by simply looking at your baby photo, to then be revealed with your senior picture. We are asking that you get both turned in by April 8th in order to give Madi enough time to put the slideshow together.
Seniors should've also received a google form from Mr. Moore to fill out for when they are brought up on stage at the end of the concert. If you did not receive the email, please let Mr. Moore know.
