The Barnes Butte Elementary Honor Choir was represented at the Central Oregon Kids’ Choir Festival on Saturday, March 16th at Bend High School. Twenty-eight BBE students participated in a day of music that they’ve been preparing for since January.
The Choir was made up of over 200 students from seven Central Oregon elementary schools. Working with their music teachers, they each learned their music and then spent Saturday rehearsing with the choir’s guest director, Kimberly Skondin. She teaches music at Hazeldale Elementary in Beaverton.
The students also attended a reptile workshop, befitting the theme of this year’s, concert, “Animalia!”
