Middle School Students Participate in All-City Band and Choir Concerts Eight Holy Rosary students from grades 6 – 8 participated in the 53rd All City Band Festival held on

March 14. This year’s guest conductor was Dr. Sigurd Johnson from North Dakota State University.

Our students practiced with the Detroit Lakes Middle School bands and then performed with them

for the concert. At the conclusion of the concert, all of the bands combined to perform three pieces.

It was a wonderful night of music making. Holy Rosary would like to thank Paul Dierkhising from the

DLMS for welcoming our students to participate with his. Eight Holy Rosary Middle School students

took part in the 43rd annual All City Choir Festival. Dr. Axel Theimer from the College of St. Benedict

and St. John’s University was this year’s guest conductor. Holy Rosary students traveled to the De-

troit Lakes Middle School to rehearse with the choirs there and then performed with them for the

concert on March 28th . After each choir performed two selections, all of the choirs combined to

form one large ensemble to sing three final numbers. Holy Rosary would like to thank the DLMS choir

director, Laura Schmitz Broderius for welcoming our students and letting them participate with hers.

Thank you, parents for encouraging and supporting great “arts” opportunities for your children. Our

students did a great job representing Holy Rosary School. They were well-mannered young people and

I am extremely proud of them! Terri Hutchinson
