Every year the North Dakota American Choral Directors Association hosts the Surround the State in Song Choral Festival. The festival happens simultaneously in six North Dakota locations: Bismarck, Jamestown, Minot, Dickinson, Fargo, and Grand Forks. The festival provides an enrichment opportunity for young singers to perform in an honor choir along with other select singers from the area, and to learn from a guest conductor.
This year we had eight elementary students participate in the festival located in Jamestown; Theodore Hall, Evan Hultgren, Rosalee Irmen, Joshua Lukach, Liza Steele, and Neecie Swart. Last year’s participant was Angelina Hall.
On October 28th, five students that represent The Triple Threat Esports team, which is a coop between NR-S, Hazen, and Garrison, joined Mr. Eich at the NAECAD Esport Clinic at NDSU.
Alongside breakout sessions, students got to meet college Esport representatives to learn what goes into playing Esports at the next level and had the opportunity to complete a recruitment form that is provided to collegiate Esport coaches through the nation. Cool stuff! 😎
🎃Trick or Treat for Charity!🎃
