On Wednesday, April 18th, the choir groups ended up going to Lindsborg for their large group contest where they were scored by three judges. Concert Choir, Select Women’s choir, and Women’s Choir all received 1’s.

All four choirs that went sang a total of 8 songs in the large group contest on the 18th. Their songs consist of “Gabi Gabi,” “Come To My Heart,” “Deep Peace,” “Cantar,” “Even When He is Silent,” and “Hello Girls,” Performed by the audition groups along with “Can you Hear,” and “Et in Terra Pax” performed by women’s choir. For Mixed and Bel Canto our favorite song overall was voted “Even When He is Silent.” For the Women’s Choir it was “Can you Hear.”

McPherson High School Choir has been working since around December for these contests. Many students claim that they have been working really hard, going through songs until they execute them to the best that they can possibly do. A current sophomore in Bel Canto, Tabitha Slechta said, “ I felt good about how we sang. We placed well in contest and we worked really hard for what we got.”
