There are two parts to the competition- the concert portion consists of the choir singing three prepared selections. The second part of the contest is the sight-reading portion where the choir is given 6 minutes to study a piece they have never seen before and perform for the judges. Each part of the competition has a panel of three judges who rate the group on a scale of 1-5- 1= Superior, 2= Excellent, 3= Good, 4= fair, 5= poor.
The judges gave the Ranchview choir glowing remarks on stage and the choir received 1’s "Superior" from all of the stage judges. The Ranchview choir received "Excellent" marks from all of the sight- reading judges.
