The choral department annually hosts the “Cox Idol” event where contestants compete against one another to determine who shows the most promising musical talent in the school.

This year’s 13th annual competition will be held on Friday, Feb. 17, in the auditorium at 6:30 p.m.; doors will open at 6 p.m. All proceeds raised at the event will go towards the CHS chorus department.

The competition will be judged by 2015 and 2016 Cox Idol winners Jack Colgan and Jessica Arsement, as well as by Virginian Pilot Fashion Editor Jamesetta Walker and WVEC Channel 3 news anchor Myles Henderson.
