My name is Angel Rudd Cuddeback, and I am honored to serve as the North Carolina Music Educators Association Middle School Choral Chair. I am thrilled to work alongside the Middle School Executive Board and dedicated educators across our state to continue advancing our mission of providing high-quality choral experiences for every student and teacher. 

The NCMEA Middle School Choral Section offers numerous performance and growth opportunities throughout the year, including Middle School Honors Chorus, Music Performance Adjudication, and All-State Chorus, Richard Keasler Teacher of the Year Award, and Conference Performance Choirs. On this website, you will find all necessary forms and eligibility information for each category. 

Beyond performance, we are deeply committed to music advocacy and empowering teachers, administrators, and communities to recognize the essential role choral music plays in developing well-rounded students and vibrant school cultures. Our goal is to provide tools and support that help you strengthen and sustain your choral programs while championing the value of music education in every district.

This website is designed to make resources easily accessible and to serve as a central hub for all things related to middle school choral music in North Carolina. Please reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas at mschoral_chair@ncmea.net. We’re here to support you and your students every step of the way.
