Cardinal Singers UNC Jazz Festival

     It is hard to believe that the school year will soon be over! The Singers have some wonderful performances planned in the next few weeks. The Chadron High Cardinal Singers will be joining Greely, Colorado's Jazz Competition on Thursday, April 16th. There, the singers will be critiqued by judges and get to connect and listen to many other groups, high schools, and colleges. After school on Wednesday, April 15, the Cardinal Singers will be on their way and will stay overnight in Colorado. The next day the singers will perform at 11:30 a.m. "The UNC Jazz Festival is a very large event! There will be many opportunities for the Singers to listen to other high school groups as well as college groups. There are also wonderful workshops to attend and concerts to see," said director Wendy Mahr.
     Another important date is April 22, where the singers will be competing against other schools around the Panhandle and getting critiqued by judges. On Thursday, April 30 is the Spring concert and Spaghetti Dinner Fund Raiser. "The Cardinal Singers will need to raise money to cover the cost of music and travel for the UNC Jazz Festival. We also need to have money in our account when the school year starts in the fall. That money is used to help cover the costs for competitions and music at the beginning of the year. I hope that having a fundraiser right before the concert will help us. The Singers will be helping with the dinner by serving and helping set up, states Mahr. The fundraiser will start at 5:15-6:30 p.m., while being followed by the 7:00 concert.
     For the month of April, the Cardinal Singers are very busy. Not to mention, they have another week of singing for graduation in May. Best of wishes to Wendy and the Cardinal Singer group.
