Our 2024-2025 Honor Choir Scholarship Recipients:

What is the ACDA National Honor Choir?

The American Choral Directors Association hold Honor Choir auditions every year. On even years, they hold Regional Honor Choir Auditions. Students from the northeast (11 states) are eligible to audition. On odd years, they hold National Honor Choir Auditions. Students from the entire country (all 50 states) are eligible to audition. Each year thousands of students audition for minimal spots. Caravel has been fortunate to send students to both Regional and National Honor Choirs in Philadelphia, Rhode Island, Baltimore, Dallas, Minnesota, Rochester, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Boston and  ​Cincinnati! Our students have been fortunate to work with world-renowned conductors and singers from across the country. It is hard work and truly the experience of a lifetime! 

What is the Honors Performance Series?

The world’s renowned stages demand the world’s best performers. The Honors Performance Series assembles some of the world’s rising young musicians to perform under the baton of master conductors at several of the world’s most celebrated concert halls: Carnegie Hall in New York City, USA; Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia; Royal Festival Hall at Southbank Centre in London, England; and the Musikverein in Vienna, Austria. Caravel Academy has been fortunate to have 6 high school students and 1 junior high school students selected to the Carnegie Hall Performance Honor Choirs and now 2 students who have been selected to the International Honor Choir Program.

What is Drum Major Academy?

Drum Major Academy is a regional minicamp for students preparing to lead their marching bands. We have proudly sent our majors-in-training to DMA for over ten years. Multiple generations of CA musicians have made friends, learned new skills, and witnessed the inspirational leadership techniques of Heidi Sarver at Drum Major Academy camps, and these experiences are essential for building a positive culture in our own band. Conducting, commanding, teaching, and marching are just a few examples of the vital skills our students learn at DMA, but the real benefit is the undeniable spirit of camaraderie and excellence that our young leaders bring back to the Caravel Academy Marching Buccaneers.

Abby Boyd - Grade 7: 

Hello! My name is Abigail Boyd and I am in 7th grade. This is Abby’s second time doing a national honor choir for Acda and she participated in region Acda honor choir last year. Some activities Abby enjoys doing are theatrical shows, basketball, volleyball, and hanging out with friends. She has participated in 2 Delaware honor choir festivals, and one choral fest celebration. Abby would like to thank the music boosters for allowing her to take this trip and thanks everyone else who has made this happen.


Erik-Michai Wilkerson - Grade 11:

Hello! My name is Erik-Michai Wilkerson, and I am an 11th grader honored to represent Caravel Academy and our choir on the national level. For the last seven years I have exhibited my passion for chorus  by participating in multiple elite ensembles. This includes earning a position on the Delaware All-State Choir (2020, 2021), ACDA Nationals (2023), ACDA Regional Choir (2016, 2024), and Delaware’s All About That Bass Choir (2018).
Additionally, this summer, I was accepted into the Governor’s School of Excellence (2024) where I had the privilege of performing alongside the top student vocalist in the state. 
Throughout my journey, I have been fortunate to receive numerous accolades, such as the National School Choir Award, Outstanding Tenor Award (2022), and Mixed Choir Outstanding Freshman Award (2023). Additionally, I am the section leader for the tenors in our elite ensemble. I am also a proud Tri-M inductee, where I  currently serve as Historian.
I am excited for what the future holds and deeply appreciate your support for me along with my fellow musicians.
