The Student Stars Info link you provide is an Outlook Web Access lmited to authorized users...

Are students who might be interested in this supposed to contact the school's gifted resource teacher? The music instructor? The band director? The principal?

legalbeaglette - link fixed, sorry.

Last year, McDonough Madrigals represented Charles County and they were magnificent.

Interested students should discuss with their teacher first and then it would follow the chain of command. If assistance is needed, please feel free to contact me.
