Last weekend was the annual [National Association of Teachers of Singing Vocal Competition Auditions](https://www.nats.org/national_student_auditions.html) (NATS) hosted at Muhlenberg College. 

Alicia Gordon '24 placed first in the Upper High School Musical Theatre Division, and Annie Hotz '27 placed first in the Upper Middle School Musical Theatre Division. They each performed several pieces of vocal music for a panel of judges to receive scores and feedback.  Since each placed first, they were able to perform a piece in a recital for the participating vocalists and their friends and families.

[NATS](https://www.nats.org/) offers a variety of lifelong learning experiences to its members, with workshops, Intern Programs, master classes and conferences, all beginning at the chapter level and progressing to national events. Our mission is to advance excellence in singing through teaching, performance, scholarship, and research.
