Voice Students from the South Carolina School of the Arts at Anderson University participated in the National Association of Teachers of Singing Mid-Atlantic Regional Student Auditions in Musical Theater and Classical events.
This competition was held virtually and comprised student winners and qualifiers from South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Many of the students not only earned honors at the Regional event but also qualified to continue on to compete in the first round of the National Student Auditions, which is a YouTube round.
