Amarillo College will present its annual Music Department Student Honors Recital at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 3 in the Concert Hall Theater. Students selected to perform on the Honors Recital are chosen based upon faculty recommendations following December juries. The recital showcases outstanding student musicians who have demonstrated exceptional performance skill and artistry.

The year was 1976. The date was March 15.On a bright spring day in the mid-1970s, precisely at noon, a brand-new voice came alive on the airwaves—one that would shape generations of music lovers, students, and community members across the Texas Panhandle.That voice was KACV-FM, Amarillo College’s FM90—a 100,000-watt, non-commercial radio station broadcasting at 89.9 FM across the Texas Panhandle.

Amarillo College had two vocalists use standout performances to place in the upper tiers at the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) – Texoma Region – Student Auditions conducted Nov. 9-12 at West Texas A&M University.

AC’s Cadence Lowery-Hart was named a finalist in the Sophomore Treble category and therefore qualified to apply to enter NAT’s national competition; and Mariah Godwin of AC advanced to semifinalist status in Freshman Treble.
