RD Parker music students sweep awards at music festival

 

The students of RD Parker’s music program recently saw success at a music festival in the US.

 

The Music in the Parks Festival held in Minneapolis saw schools from across North America send music groups to be adjudicated, and all three RD Parker ensembles took first place in their respective categories, with the Senior Concert Choir also winning the Top Overall High School Choir award and the Senior Concert Band receiving a “Superior” rating, which is the highest mark that the Festival hands out.

 

Now that they’re back in Thompson, music director Kevin Lewis says they have upcoming performances to look forward to, beginning with the cabaret.

 

“Our theme this year is ‘Journey to the Land of Make-Believe’, so we have some very whimsical music, some stuff that I’m sure people will recognize from movies, TV shows, musicals, and then some really interesting character pieces as well. It’s $5 admission for adults and $3 for students.”

 

The cabaret will be held in the RD Parker gym at 7 pm on June 7th.
