On Tuesday, March 21st, the local solo/small group recital took place here at Fillmore Central High School. There was a judge who listened to and critiqued all of the performers who sang. Many of the songs were in different languages such as Italian and French. There were a total of 13 songs being performed by solos, duets, and groups of four or more. 

This night’s soloists include Tristen Sill, who sang “Skye Boat Song”; Alayna Holets, who sang “Wiegenlied”; Esme Gastfield, who sang “Sebben Crudele”; Eva Hemenway, who sang “Gia il Sole Dal Gange”; Siri Corson, who sang “Bel Piacere”; Hannah Kingsley, who sang “Che faro senza Euridice”; Liz Ryan, who sang “Ah! Je veux vivre”;  and Nicholas Weist, who sang “Bring Him Home.” 

The duets that performed were Angel Apenhorst and Alayna Holets, who sang “For the Beauty of the Earth”; Nora Springer and Caleb Barth, who sang “Make a Joyful Noise”; and Oliver Hoeltzle and Samuel Springer, who sang “Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho.”

There were two groups who performed at the local recital. The first was a group of 8th grade boys, who sang “No More Sailor Songs.” The second group sang “Pirate Song” and consisted of Ben Ryan, Alex Gulbranson, Brayden Engen, and Zach Krage.
