DESOTO — Three members of the DeSoto High School choir, who competed at the
Texas State Solo- Ensemble Contest (TSSEC), were selected as OUTSTANDING
PERFORMERS by the UIL - the equivalent of a State Champion!
Congratulations to junior Jeremy Shedd and seniors Alexandria Jones and Johnny
Brantley for receiving this mark of musical excellence.
Of the more than 85,000 regional performers and 22,000 TSSEC participants, only
231 students earned the distinguished honor of being recognized as an
Outstanding Performer.
All three received a UIL gold medallion for their accomplishment and will be
included in the UIL Book of Champions.
Congratulations also to Choir Director Pam Dawson.
