Circle the State With Song is a statewide children’s choral festival created and sponsored by the Indiana Music Educators Association. Participants in each of the twelve designated areas of the state are chosen by their music teachers to be members of these select choirs.
With the help of their music teacher Amy Otto, singers from Chesterton Middle School prepared the music in advance and came together for a Saturday rehearsal with Jonathon Busarow, guest clinician, culminating in an afternoon performance at Hebron High School on March 2.
