Press Release Summary = Alexis Thompson chosen to participate in prestigious NJ Honors Choir

Press Release Body = April 2005 – Steinert High School student, Alexis Thompson, recently was selected as a member of the 2005-2006 All-State Honors Choir. She is one of the select few high school students selected from more than hundreds of the
finest young singers from all across New Jersey.

Alexis has studied music for the past ten years through violin and flute lessons in elementary school, and for the past five years she has taken voice lessons with Westminster Choir College graduate and Trenton soprano, Deborah Ford. Last September, Alexis began piano lessons with Richard Cleghorn.

Currently a junior at Steinert High School in Hamilton, NJ, and a first year student at the Mercer County Performing Arts High School, Alexis has performed throughout the region at community events and in various school programs. For two years Alexis was a member of the Steinert High School Marching Unit Drill Team, and she has been a member of the Steinert Select Choir for three years. She has performed in several local and school plays, including the Our Lady of Sorrows production of “Oliver” and most recently Alexis played “Urleen” in Steinerts “Footloose.”

Some of the highlights of Alexis’s career so far have been performing on the NJPAC Victoria stage, singing on the Patriots Theater stage at the Trenton War Memorial under the baton of The Greater Trenton Symphony Conductor, John Peter Holly, with the Mercer County Honors Choir, winning the Hamilton Idol competition, and singing The National Anthem when first lady, Laura Bush visited Hamilton last September.

Alexis aspires to become a world-class musician and performer. She plans on applying to many colleges and universities in the fall, including Julliard, The Manhattan School of Music, and The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Alexis expects to attend one of the finest music schools on the east coast in the fall of 2006, where she will major in vocal performance with a minor in music education.
