Congratulations to Emma Albrecht and Jacob Dorshorst who traveled last weekend to Crete, NE to participate in the Fall Festival of Winds Honor Band at Doane University. These students rehearsed all day on Saturday and performed a concert on Saturday evening. The concert was streamed live and can still be viewed here:

A huge shout-out and thank you to Sarah Dorshorst who drove the students down and made sure they were where they were supposed to be, when they were supposed to be there so Mrs. Varvel could cheer on the Lady Hawks VB team!

The Hawk Choir had a fun day making music with other PANCO schools. On Thursday, October 29th, 6 choirs came together and made a mass choir. They learned 4 songs under the direction of Mrs. Lindsay Torgerson from Rapid City Central High School. The Hawks very own accompanist, Ms. Laura Empson, was the accompanist for the event as well.

For the concert each school performed an individual song and then the choir performed together.

On Thursday, October 29th PANCO schools will come together and make a large choir. They will rehearse all day and then perform a concert at 3pm in the Hay Springs auditorium. At the concert, each school will be performing a solo selection and then the mass choir will perform. Please plan to join us for this unique opportunity where schools that usually compete against each other get to come together and create something beautiful instead. The choir will be directed by Lindsey Torgerson who is the Rapid City Central director of choirs. Hope to see you there!

On Wednesday, October 14th, 3 Hay Springs high school women singers participated in the CSC Women’s Choir Day. Rehearsals began at 9am and concluded with a concert at 2:30pm. Follow the link below to watch this performance. If you can’t watch the entire thing, I’d recommend that you go to 7 minutes and 30 seconds and watch the song called Lineage (all the girls agreed this was their favorite song!) It was a fun day of making something beautiful together.
