On Nov. 8, 27 general and vocal music students in grades five through 12 participated in the 22nd music festival “Singing in Wisconsin.” Sponsored by the Wisconsin Choral Directors Association, the festival took place at four sites around the state—Appleton, Chippewa Falls, West Milwaukee and Wausau—where singers performed the same songs at concerts held simultaneously.
Three Lakes School District students attended the festival at Wausau West High School, which included four groups: Youth Choir (grades 5 and 6), Young Women’s Choir (grades 7, 8 and 9), Young Men’s Choir (grades 7, 8, and 9), and the High School Choir (grades 10 through 12).

McDonald, Margaret Mouw, Jasmine Neumann, Kara Sowinski and Mari Szews.
Three Lakes students in the Youth Choir were: Shaun Kubiak, Emily LeBuis, Megan
Lester, Hunter St. Louis, Kylee Swendson, Olivia Terlizzi and Emily Vold.
