Event Description:
MARION— Later this month, several dozen Marion Community Schools students — more than ever before — will join with thousands of students from across the state in the annual Circle the State with Song choral festival.
McCulloch Junior High has participated in the festival for the past several years. This year, students from Justice Intermediate School and all the Marion Community School elementary schools are also taking part.
The festival – which is held at 13 different sites around the state (this year from Feb. 13 through March 5) – exposes young singers to new music and gives them the chance to have a choral experience quite different from the regular school class or performance.
After weeks of practice on their own and at their schools, students from across the state will come together and work with a guest clinician on the day of the performance. Nearly 5,000 students from elementary schools, middle schools, and junior high schools around the state participate in this annual festival series, which is in its 28th year. The Indiana Music Educators Association puts on the event.
Marion Community Schools’ young artists will perform at the CSWS festival on Saturday, Feb. 13, at the Honeywell Center, 275 W. Market St., Wabash. The students will spend the day in rehearsals, and then put on a public performance beginning at 3:30 p.m.
The students participating in Circle the State With Song 2016 are:
McCulloch Junior High
Justice Intermediate
Allen, Frances Slocum, Kendall, and Riverview elementaries
We’re so proud of our talented students, and of our choral and music teachers as well. Thanks to McCulloch choir teacher Christina Huff for expanding this opportunity to our younger students this year, and to our music teachers at all levels for the opportunities they give to our students not only at special times such as this, but every day! At Marion Community Schools, we recognize the life-changing potential of arts education, and we are continuing to invest in these important programs.
