LHS Students Attend UND Festival

Several students from Larimore high school recently attended the 2013 UND Honor Band and Choir Festival.  Danica McDonald, Meredith Mutch, Hannah Holter, Caleb Behm, Christian Feldmann, and homeschool student Emma Redding were selected by live audition to participate.  

Auditions are conducted in late October, and extend throughout the entire state of ND.  Those selected gather for two days of intensive rehearsals.  Approximately 12 hours of rehearsal time is spent to prepare a full concert for each of the three groups.  For many, the concert repertoire is among the most difficult they will ever encounter in their high school career.  

The final concert was performed on the stage of the Chester Fritz auditorium, on the campus of UND.  Students performed to an audience of around 1,800 people. Congratulations to all of our students who participated in this year's festival.
