Eileen Madson choir wins award A group of students at Eileen Madson Primary School have been bestowed a huge honour after a phenomenal choir performance last Friday. Music teacher Leisa O’Sullivan was notified on Sunday evening that the school choir, consisting of 54 students, was awarded the best vocal performance at the East Kootenay Performing Arts Festival in Cranbrook. “It was really exciting,” said Mrs. O’Sullivan, who started the choir last year. “I didn’t expect it.” The choir, composed of children aged seven to nine, erupted in cheers on Tuesday at their regular noon rehearsal when Mrs. O’Sullivan broke the news. “It was really exciting – everyone was screaming,” said Grade 3 student Geneve Miller. The choir performed two songs at the festival: Ching-a-Ring-Chaw and a Japanese number entitled Hamabe No Uta (Song of the Beach).
