Brentwood Elementary School’s senior choir was in Edmonton on May 7 to take part in the Alberta Provincial Music Festival choral competition. There were 73 students participating from the school. 

“It was really fun, and we had a great time. It’s fun to just travel there, sing, and we got to go to McDonalds too,” said Logan Schoepp, one of the choir members. 

“I liked everything, everything was really fun,” said Brooklyn Shea, another choir member.

There were nine choirs from all over Alberta. There were supposed to be 10, but one of them had to drop out. Brentwood sang ninth and their singing level was high.  

“I thought we did really good, if not amazing,” said Ayden Fisk, choir member. 

“I think everybody else did as well as we did,” said Caleb Stone, choir member. 

Kathie Zakresky was the accompanist, and had said to music teacher Carolyn Steeves that the choir had done really well. Sydney Taylor said one of the worst parts was “waiting to sing.” 

All of the choir members answered with a loud, resounding ‘yes’, about going back again next year, if given the chance.
