The Johnston Middle School Choir department participated in the UIL concert and sight-reading competition, hosted by Memorial Parkway Junior High in Katy ISD, on Monday, March 31 and Tuesday, April 1, 2008.  Mrs. Laurie Conner, Johnston choir director, entered five choirs over the two day period. Each choir performed three memorized selections from the UIL list in concert and then sight-read in three to four parts for the sight-reading portion of the competition. Johnston was the only school from all of HISD, Alief and Katy to have 5 choirs competing.
