Congratulations to the 8th grade members of the Ellis Emeralds that auditioned and are now part of the Dega Darlins Addition of Talladega High School. We are proud of you and will miss you as an Ellis Emerald, but look forward to working with you as our sister group. :)
Welcome to the site of the award winning Ellis Emeralds of Zora Ellis Jr. High School. This group consists of 7th and 8th grade young ladies who become a member through an audition process held yearly. All Ellis Emeralds also play an instrument in the ZEJH Bands.
Hard work, dedication and pride do not go unnoticed. The Ellis Emeralds in their first year of competition captured the title of 2008 Cadet Class Alabama State Champions and SCGC Silver Medalists. In their second year of competition, the Ellis Emeralds were promoted from Cadet to Novice classification and ranked fourth among the competition.
