On March 9, the concert choir competed in the OSSAA Choir Contest at Crossings Christian School in Oklahoma City.

The choir earned “Excellent” in both sight reading and performance.

Members performed “My Soul is Awakened” by Oklahoma composer Cristi Cary Miller and Israeli affollato song “Zum Gali Gali” by Victor C. Johnson.

“These are the most difficult pieces any of my seventh-eighth grade choirs have performed at contest and they did such a great job in a COVID year,” said Diann Magnus, KPS choral director.
