About the Director:
This will be Erin Phillips’ fifth year teaching at Ridge View High School. Last year was an amazing year and a very successful year for the Singing Blazers. The Chamber Singers received Superior ratings in 40th Lander Choral Festival at Lander University in Greenwood, SC. They also received 2rd place overall and most inspiring performance. Mrs. Phillips also took the students to participate in the SCMEA Big 16 State Choral Festival at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. There, two choirs received a Superior Rating for their performances and one choir received a Superior with Distinction rating. All three choirs received a Superior rating for their efforts in sight-singing. The Ridge View Choirs also participated in the Music in the Parks Festival at Carowinds. All three choirs received Superior ratings from both judges. The choirs placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd in their division, as well as 1st place overall for the high school choral division. We also received two outstanding vocalist awards. The choirs are expected to participate in the same choral festivals again this upcoming year.
Mrs. Phillips received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from Lander University in May 2006. After that, she went on to receive a Master of Music degree in Vocal Performance from Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana. In 2009, she returned to Lander University and earned her K-12 Certification in Music Education. She is currently a member of the National Association for Music Education, American Choral Directors Association, the Palmetto State Teachers Association, Alpha Chi Honor Society, and the National Music Honor Society of Pi Kappa Lambda.
Mrs. Phillips lives Ridgeway, SC with her husband, Al, and their three children: Emilee, 14, AJ, 12, and Keaton, 4. Emilee enjoys dancing, playing softball, and reading. AJ is a Georgia Football fan and enjoys playing video games, and Little League baseball. Keaton loves hanging out with her cousins and playing dress up. Outside of school, Erin enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, camping, swimming, reading, and singing.
Erin is very excited and grateful for the opportunity to teach at Ridge View High School. She is very optimistic for another very successful school year.
