OACC Awards Two Scholarships
Each year, the Oneida Area Civic Chorale invites Seniors involved in music to apply for a $500.00 scholarship. Students are encouraged to continue participating in music after high school, regardless of their major. This year, we have two winners.
Ashlynn Clanton is a senior vocalist from Westmoreland High School. Ashlynn is very involved in the Westmoreland Choral and Band program and an active member of Broadway Voices, Select Choir, Jazz Band, Pep Band, Marching Band, Drama Club and Tri M Music Honor Society. She was a recent participant in the New York State All-State Choir and All-Eastern Choir. Ashlynn plans to attend SUNY New Paltz and pursue a dual major in Classical Vocal Music and Clinical Musicianship and eventually become a Music Therapist.
Sarah Mullen is a senior pianist from Whitesboro High School. Sarah is very involved in the Whitesboro Vocal and Orchestral program. Outside of school, she studies piano and has participated in the Hamilton College Piano Discoveries program, Syracuse University Summer Program in Audio Engineering and Audio Production, and the Grammy Camp in Los Angeles. She also volunteers for the Broadway Utica Youth Ambassadors, Junior B-sharp Club, and benefit concerts for the Steven Swans Humane Society and Wounded Warriors Project. Sarah will be attending Syracuse University and major in Sound Recording Technology with a minor in Political Science.
Congratulations Ashlynn and Sarah!
