Juda's team won the district competition and the sectional competition to earn the honor of competing at state.

Seven members of the Juda FFA were selected to participate in the State FFA Honors Chorus. Singing altos were Jessica Jordan, Camilla Klar and Brianna Knudtson. McKayla Trotter sang soprano. Those who sang tenor were Todd Davis, Luke Jordan and Jason Roth. These students will also perform with the Wisconsin FFA Honors Chorus at the Wisconsin State Fair in August.
