and approximately
200 singers from grades 7-9 representing 23 schools in our region.
Other OBI choir members attended the evening concert held at the
First Baptist Church in London, Kentucky.
Middle school choir director, Penny Akers, said, “The guest conductor
was Cynthia Gray. That was very exciting for our students
since Mrs. Gray is the composer of three of the song selections we
sang.” She added, “I think all of the students really enjoyed singing
under her. Our OBI students had a great experience. I was very proud
of them.”
Taraporn stated, “I was proud of myself for being in the All-Festival
Chorus. The conductor was so nice. This will improve our singing.” ❑
