Last night was Dordt University's Fall Festival of Music, during which all of the bands and choirs performed. It was a beautiful evening of praise!
The whole concert is a little long, but if you are interested in watching Jenna's part, she is the Chorale pianist and sings or plays in the first 4 choir songs. The choral portion begins an hour and 46 minutes in. This link will take you to that part of the program: https://youtu.be/AHceoyFg6_8?t=6372
Jenna wears a white robe and is in the front left corner. Enjoy! :)
Kara, Ryan & Mary had combined chapel at Sioux Falls a couple of weeks ago, and I just realized that I forgot to share those videos. So here they are... better late than never, right?! :)

Doon Grades 3-8 Alex, Tyler, Michael, Ryan, Moriah, Emily, Jacie, Reuben, Kate (Kara on piano)
And last but not least - all 3 grade schools singing Psalter 306 together… It was beautiful to see and hear them praising God together! Doon, Sioux Falls, & Edgerton PR Schools
Last week was a busy week of music for Kara. She auditioned for our area's honor band, and played piano for interscholastic preview night. She's been hard at work practicing for both of these events, and is excited to have been selected for both our area's honor band, as well as the All Iowa 8th grade honor band which will perform in Des Moines in May.
It's tradition for our honor band students to take a photo by the giant anchor in Storm Lake during their lunch break.😊
We also take a photo of the students all dressed up for their auditions. It was an exciting day, as all 8 of these students were selected to be in our district's honor band!

Earlier in the week, Kara played this piece for Interscholastic Preview Night. She graciously agreed to play it again so I could record it at home. Enjoy! "Scotch Poem" by Edward MacDowell
We are thankful for the gift of music! To God be the glory for the talents and gifts He has given.
