Congratulations to Chisholm Trail MS Philharmonic Orchestra
The Philharmonic Orchestra have just returned from their UIL Concert and Sightreading Evaluation.
They did a tremendous job receiving 1-1-1 (All Superior Ratings) in the Concert Performance.

CTMS UIL Evaluation Results
Our Tenor-Bass Choir received scores of 1-2-2 in concert and 2-2-1 in sight reading, for an overall score of 2 in concert and 2 in sight reading.
Our Advanced Treble Choir received scores of 2-2-2 in concert and 2-3-3 in sight reading, for an overall score of 2 in concert and 3 in sight reading.
These students pushed through so many difficulties to achieve these results and I am incredibly proud of all the hard work put in by everyone! I can count on one hand the amount of choir students that have participated in UIL or any equivalent before today, and they fought through the nerves as best they could to experience this scale of improvement and success.
CTMS Beginning Choir Festival Results
I am so excited to share that our Beginning Treble Choir got Sweepstakes at RRISD Beginning Choir Festival this past Saturday! Sweepstakes means every judge gave them a score of 1 which correlates to “superior” (the highest score you can get)!
These students really put in the hard work this past week and their dedication and focus made all the difference!
CTMS Dance Results
Earlier today the Advanced Dance class traveled to the Cedar Ridge PAC to participate in DEAL, which is the equivalent of UIL for dance in the state of Texas. The Advanced Dance Class was adjudicated by three professionals of the industry and was given a division one rating from each adjudicator. This was the first time Chisholm Trail has participated in DEAL post COVID and I could not be more proud of the dancers for earning the highest division rating from each adjudicator.
CTMS Choir Solo and Ensemble Results
Please join me in congratulating the following choir students that competed in Solo and Ensemble this past Saturday:
Students that received a “Superior” (I) score: Gaby Aguirre, Mila DeSantis, Nico Gallegos, Riley Holtzman, Sophie Hurley-Mayden, Owen Hyink, Annaliese Illian, Mia Mielke, and Alyssa Rayos Jimenez
Students that received an “Excellent” (II) score: Italia Bailey, and Oliver Garza
These students worked incredibly hard to participate, many of them singing solo for the first time! We are so proud of their courage and commitment!

CTMS Cross Country News
Your Chisholm Trail Cougars competed on Saturday at the McNeil Invitational against more than 700 middle school runners from across the state. Cougars did not let an extremely hot day and difficult course slow them down. We had strong performances from Nishtha G and Will M, and in a field of 396 7th and 8th grade boys, Josiah P and Brendan H finished in the top 50 at 48th and 36th, and Miles B finished as the 2nd 7th grader and the 18th finisher overall!
We followed Saturday up with the District Meet at Walsh, where again both 7th and 8th graders compete in the field together. It is no joke that hard work pays off! Your Cougars dropped a combined total of 3 minutes and 50 seconds from season bests, with every athlete running a personal best time! Nishtha G put in an incredibly strong personal best and finished at 17:48. Quinn N and Will M both dropped a full minute from their personal bests with lights out races coming in at 16:11 and 15:54. Finishing with a season top speed of 10:10 and 20th place was Brendan H. Coming in 16th overall with a time of 13:01 was Josiah P. And leading the way for the Cougar boys and all 7th grade boys in the district was Miles B with a 5th place overall finish and a personal best time of 12:07!
Ms. McAlpine and Ms. Neary are beyond proud of the work and success of this team and all our early morning runners! We look forward to continuing to drop time and set new goals as we train throughout the year.
