Circle the State With Song is a statewide children’s choral festival created and sponsored by the Indiana Music Educators Association. Participants in each of the twelve designated areas of the state are chosen by their music teachers to be members of these select choirs.
With the help of their music teacher Dawn Flasch, singers from Westchester Intermediate School prepared their music in advance and came together for a Saturday rehearsal with Joanie Brandon, elementary guest clinician, culminating in an afternoon performance at Hebron High School on March 2.
Student participants were front, left to right, Ava Kruper, Agia Amezcua-Bone, Lexi Polite, Rachel Byrnside, Miranda Brandt, Dave Hamady and Nicole Arndt.
