New Richmond High School's Troubadours, Women's Choir and Men's Choir won their classes at the Heritage Music Festival in Annapolis, Md. March 31-April 3.
The Troubadours, Women's Choir and Men's Choir all won their respective classes, with the Troubs and Women's Choir earning gold medals, and the Men earning silver.
"The Troubadours became the first group in our school's history to win both their Concert Choir division and also receive a National Gold Medal," said New Richmond music director Doug Heflin. "This resulted in an invitation to the National Finals. The Troubadours were one of only two schools (out of 17 at Annapolis) to qualify for this honor."
New Richmond was the only school in the Annapolis competition to win in three categories.
The Heritage Festival started 30 years ago with a goal to recognize, encourage, and celebrate musical artistry and excellence at the high school and middle school levels, has evolved into the country’s most prestigious high school music festivals.
