She was a member of the MCDA Honor Choir for two years, was named Soprano Honor Camper at the Northwest Missouri State University music camp for two years and was awarded a scholarship to attend music camp from Sigma Alpha Iota, music fraternity for women.
Miss Gay has been a member of concert choir and Gold Rush since her freshman year and this fall was selected as a nominee for the Missouri Fine Arts Academy. She is the daughter of Sharry Gay and a student of Elizabeth Robbins, THS vocal music instructor.
