Kyle Barker, associate choral director and lead director of Ambassadors, praises the choir on their hard work at the MIC Choral Festival. Barker said the students showed great effort throughout the long and tiring day.

On Sept. 18 Ambassadors went to the MIC Choral Festival hosted at Laurence Central High School. The festival ended with a free public concert featuring the choirs at the event.

Kyle Barker, associate choral director and lead director of Ambassadors, said the event went well and the students learned a lot from the experience.

Barker said, “It was a good day overall. It was a long rehearsal but we had fun. I was really proud of the effort they put forward throughout the whole day.”

Aidan Mellor, two-year member of Ambassadors and senior, said now that MIC is out of the way, the choir is really buckling down on music for the upcoming Fall Concert.

Mellor said, “At the moment the Ambassadors are getting ready for their first official concert of the year, the fall concert. We are preparing two different choreographed numbers, a concert piece, as well as one large group number with every choir in the program. We have also begun work on our first show choir number for our competitions, which take place in second semester.” By Emily Carlisle
