All four of the Springbrook Choirs attended State Choral Festival at Brighton High School, Friday, April 27th.
The adjudicators praised all of the Adrian choirs, commenting that they were among the top groups they'd heard that day. "At the state competition, middle school choirs are not given a numerical score," said Barbara Schenck, Springbrook's Choir Director. "We earn the scores at the District level. So, it's more of an exhibition at state. But, the judges' comments were all fantastic and, I can imagine that, had they scored us, we would have received very good numbers." Adjudicator Norma Freeman, a long-time teacher at Saline High School, paid nice compliments to the 6th grade choir and encouraged Mrs Schenck to enter the group in the MSVMA Music Conference next January. “I just cannot believe these are 6th graders," Ms. Freeman said to Mrs. Schenck. "How are you achieving such amazing sounds from them? You must bring them to the music conference so everyone can hear how 6th graders can sound.” You can watch the videos that Mrs. Schenck provided at the links below.

Sierra Hull was playing on the Grand Ole Opry stage at age 11. She was invited to that gig by her mentor and friend, Alison Krauss, a woman who's tied for second place with Quincy Jones on the list of most Grammy Award wins. (Alison has 27, by the way. )
Sierra signed with Rounder Records at age 13, and has since released three albums. She's toured the world, played the White House and Carnegie Hall, had her own exhibit in the Country Music Hall of Fame, was named Mandolin Player of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association, and graduated from Berklee College of Music. So, Sierra Hull knows a thing or two about growing a career in the music business. After her April 2018 performance at The Ark in Ann Arbor, she took some time to encourage Adrian Music students. Take a look at the quick video above. Then learn more about this very talented musician at SierraHull.com. Our Vice President's and Treasurer's terms will come to an end in June 2018. That means we're looking for at least two new Adrian Music parents to join the Boosters board.
If you believe in the value of music education and have a relatively small amount of time to invest, we'd love to talk with you about how you can make a difference to music students and teachers. At least some experience with bookkeeping / accounting is preferred for the Treasurer position. No specific experience is necessary for the Vice President role, but our hope is that the new VP will bring a passion for music education and a desire to grow and improve our program in some way. If you're interested or have any questions, please email Booster President Scott Greggory or call him at 419/351-2205, or contact any of the other officers listed on our About Us page. Thank you in advance for your support.
