The Hay Springs High School Choir performed in the PANCO choir clinic held at WNCC in Scottsbluff on Wednesday, October 30th with Dr Patrick Newell as the clinician. Students worked on 4 songs before the clinic and then combined to make a large choir consisting of 7 PANCO schools choirs-Cody-Kilgore, Crawford, Hay Springs, Hemingford, Hyannis and Morrill.

On Wednesday, October 16th Hay Springs women’s choir attended Chadron State’s Women’s Choir Day. Students in attendance were Jaelyn Rasmussen, Andi Twarling, Bo Thies, Mya Turman and Josie Kelly. These young ladies combined with over 100 other young ladies from panhandle schools as well as Wyoming schools. They rehearsed from 9am-2pm and then held a concert at 2:30pm. The choir was directed by CSC’s vocal director Dr Joel Schreuder.

If you see a high school music student, make sure to congratulate them-they represented Hay Springs very well Wednesday, April 16th in Alliance at District Music Contest! Here are the results. Students can receive a rating from I-V (I being the best, V being the worst).
