HIGH SCHOOL ALL-STATE CHOIR AND BAND

Sunday we enjoyed the All-State Gala Concert performed by Oregon students at the Eugene Hult Center. There were 240 singers in the choir directed by Dr. Bruce Rogers. (The band had a lot of people, too) :-)

Pictured here are Nathan (band), Eric (choir), Sean (choir) and Mathew (choir). It's a fun picture but not the one going into the Headlight-Herald so I had to post it here. The boys had a great time and met a bunch of new friends. The Gala Concert was wonderful. We'll have a CD to listen to in a few weeks.

MIDDLE SCHOOL ALL-STATE STUDENTS

Thursday, January 24th, Mr. Coughlin drove Kim Teigland (choir), Vance Wetzel (band), Claire Seeger (band) and Matthew Travers (choir) to Eugene for the Middle School All-State Choir and Band. The first picture is in the Jr. High Music Room before leaving and the other picture is of Kim and Matthew after the concert.

I'm sure they can all say they enjoyed their experience of "Raising The Bar".
