Media release: Nine students from Floyd County middle and high schools have been selected to participate in the Georgia Music Educator's Association All State Chorus for 2012.  Chorus students from Armuchee Middle, Armuchee High, Coosa Middle and Pepperell High will represent Floyd County at the gathering of the best musical talent in the state held annually in Savannah this week.  This year's event will be held February 23 - 25.
