Two vocal students of Dr. Joseph Perniciaro, associate professor of music at Fort Hays State University, will travel to Las Vegas in June for the national semifinal round of the National Association of Teachers of Singing National Student Auditions.

Clayton Capra, a Dighton 2018 graduate, will compete in the upper college men’s classical division, and Jared Thom, Hays junior, will compete in the lower college men’s music theatre division.

Leann Hillmer, pianist, helped the students prepare for their auditions.
