Washington School fifth graders participate in honor choir

EUGENE, Ore. — Seven fifth grade students from Washington Elementary traveled to Eugene on January 13 to participated in the honor choir. Vienda Dagley, Maleah Bell, LillieAnn Lehneis, Elizabeth Bevis, Kayli Azure, Awna’ee Najera, and Isabelle Allen. Four of them are members of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.

The students practiced their assigned choral parts on their own time and with Mrs. Dinkel, their Choir Teacher, during her prep period to learn the songs. On January 13th students checked into the honor choir rehearsal in Eugene. There they rehearsed all morning and after with the honor choir’s guest conductor. The director, Robyn Reeves Lana, was brought in from Cincinnati, Ohio. She leads the Cincinnati youth choir and is a professor at University of Cincinnati

College-Conservatory of Music. The day cumulated with a performance open to teachers and the public. This experience was able to benefit those students who wanted more in the music room. Students were able to learn part music and choral songs in different languages, which is currently not an option in our area. While students get the opportunity to sing and perform in school concerts, these students were able to sing repertoire that is more difficult and challenging then what is taught in the general music classroom. Students were excited and nervous for this activity. When they arrived they were assigned spots and mixed in with over 100 other elementary students from all around the state of Oregon. A few students were shy and nervous about meeting new people they didn’t know, but by the end of the experience they walked away with
