Aristoi Classical Academy, a public charter school located at 5610 Morton Road in Katy, has announced results from regional choir competitions and has set dates for upcoming holiday musical performances.
The following singers competed at the Region level of the TMEA
competition in Sealy recently. The Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) holds a
prestigious contest each year that allows students to compete against the top singers in
the state for the opportunity to perform for an international audience in San Antonio at
their annual convention each February.
Students prepare a selection of music and then sing it as a solo to blind judges, who
rank the singers in order. The contest is open to all students—from private schools to
the largest ISDs—making the competition fierce.
This year’s Aristoi competitors and rankings were:
Bass:
· Nathaniel B. – 18
· Edison B. – 22
Alto:
· Chimamanda O. – 54
· Annelise P. – 30
· Nellie B. – 33
· Gabriella H. – 1
Soprano:
· Ella A – 60
· Emma C – 30
The school also announced that Gabriella H. earned first place and was scheduled to compete in the concert on November 15 in Bay City. She advanced to the pre-area level competition on November 18 in Needville.
Aristoi’s Logic School also competed at the junior high level of the TMEA competition,
taking 14 singers to represent Aristoi:
Sopranos:
· Brianna V. – 22
· Kristen T. – 19
· Eden R. – 14
· Isabella A. – 8
· Ese U. – 2

· Baritone:

The top 20 singers in each voice part participated in the TMEA Region Clinic and
Concert on November 15 in Bay City.
“Aristoi is proud of all our Logic School singers for their commitment and success in this highly competitive event,” said a school spokesperson in the press release. “Families across Aristoi frequently speak to the impact of the school’s choir program.”
Aristoi parent Barbara Havlik shared how transformative the experience has been for
her daughter, saying, “Before joining choir, we had no idea our daughter could sing.
Since then, we’ve watched her grow in confidence, maturity, and musical ability. Aristoi’s
choir program gives students something good, true, and beautiful to carry with them for
life.”
In addition to their competition accomplishments, the Aristoi Bellatrices Choir was
invited to perform by Harris County Precinct 4 County Commissioner Leslie Briones at a town hall event at Legacy Stadium on October 18. “The choir represented Aristoi beautifully,
sharing their music with the community and helping open the event with excellence and
grace,” a school spokesperson said.
Looking ahead, the Aristoi Choir Program has several exciting events on the calendar:
· Winter Concert: December 10, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. in the Griffin Center
· Solo Concert Series Competition: January 23, 2026, in the Griffin Center
The Solo Concert Series serves as Aristoi’s Region-level Solo and Ensemble
Competition. Winners from this event will advance to represent Aristoi at the State
TSCAAL Fine Arts Festival at the Texas State Capitol in Austin on February 21, 2026.
