GLADEWATER, TX — Gladewater’s Brent Hetherington is one of 18 student conductors chosen for the annual Texas Choral Director’s Association Convention to be held in July.

 

“This caught me by surprise because I thought my chance of being chosen had long since passed,” Hetherington said. “Receiving the notification that I had been selected was a blessing, surprise, and an immense honor.”

Hetherington, who attends East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, is involved in concert choir, university singers and the department of theater arts. He was nominated by ETBU’s Director of Choral Activities Justin Hodges. It was the first time for an ETBU student to be chosen for the honor.
