Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the 2012 Kansas City NATS Vocal Auditions!

Singers from the Kansas City region competed at Mid-America Nazarene University. They each competed in separate divisions based on age and years of vocal study. The first, second, and third place winners also received a small financial award. Below are the winners from UMKC. Congrats to their teachers, coaches, and pianists for all their dedicated work.
