NCCSA Fine Arts Competition Results
share2023 Fine Arts Competitions
Our middle and high school students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of electives each school year. Some of our students choose to participate in choir, band, and art or a combination for their fine art electives. As a part of these electives, our teachers help prepare them for the NCCSA Fine Arts competition. This year our students competed in a variety of categories: band, choir, art, preaching, academic testing, piano, instrumental and vocal solos. Throughout the school year, students have been preparing for the 3-day competition hosted at Raleigh Christian Academy in Raleigh, NC on March 15-17, 2023.
Our students that participated in the art categories had their artwork dropped off early on Monday for the judging to take place before Wednesday. The art was displayed throughout the week so students from other schools could walk through the displays of art. On Wednesday, our high school solo competitors left school to participate. We had a handful of students participate in solo or small group competitions. With several students placing first in their respective categories, they will be heading to the national competition in April at Bob Jones University.
On Thursday, our middle school students left for the competition. This group consisted of almost the entire 6th-grade class and the majority of the 7th and 8th classes. The middle school band and choir performed as well as several solo entries. We are so blessed to have talented students using their talents for the Lord and competing. For some of our solo competitors, this was their first time competing in a solo category. On Friday, our high school band and choir headed to RCA for the last day of competition. After several days of competing, the students ended on a great note and were able to hear their results.
