Yesterday O'Neill hosted the Midstate Conference Choir Festival. The day was a total success! Schools in attendance were Boone Central, Norfolk Catholic, Wayne, Pierce, Hartington Central Catholic, Crofton, Battle Creek, and O'Neill. There were about 260 students in attendance! The guest conductor and clinician was Dr. Kurt Runestad, the Vocal Music Director from Doane College.
We began the day's first rehearsal at 10:00 am and concluded the day with a mass concert at 5:00 pm in the HS gym. The concert was well attended!
All visiting students were very respectful, hard-working, and positive throughout the 4+ hours of rehearsing with Dr. Runestad. Thank you to all the directors for all you do with your students in music. They were very well prepared and made the concert so much fun.
Special thank you's to Cheryl Ludwig, Nick Hostert, Terry Kloppenborg, and our amazing custodians for all you did to organize and help run this event and keep things tidy and running smoothly. I couldn't have done it without all of your help. The tacos were awesome too!
