SENIOR SPOTLIGHT:
Bronwyn Barnes has been in our choirs for 4yrs- 1 in Treble Choir and 3 yrs in Select Mixed and also Chorale. Her favorite choir memory was a special performance on our Cleveland trip where we performed in the VA Hospital on the hospice floor. “There was a feeling in the air I have never felt anywhere else- one that was crushing. Almost hopeless. We performed on that floor and gave everyone there on that day, in that moment, just a small glimmer of light in a world that seemed so blindingly dark. That experience is something I will never forget, and it has quickly become one of my favorite, and most humbling moments in my life” Besides choir , Bronwyn enjoys drawing, farming, being outside, hanging out with friends and raising livestock. She is also an active member in Warren County 4H where she shows livestock both around the state and the county fair. She also participates in the Marching Band, theatre and NHS. She asked why someone should join our choirs Bronwyn had this to say “Someone should join the choirs because there is always a deeper meaning behind everything you do. I mostly can speak for the select choirs but even in the T/B and Treble choir, there is a larger than life purpose to the songs you sing and the people you perform for. There have been many people who have spoken to me after concerts and appearances who have told me that they felt the emotion I, as well as the other singers, conveyed. I always try to do more than simply scratch the surface for meaning behind our singing, and our commmunity service for the people around us. Mrs. Baker always tells us that all we see on the news is everything wrong and horrible with the world, and our singing and our performance has the potential to be the light that gives everyone even a little bit of hope. I have felt the hand of God on my heart while in this choir, and it has truly given me a different outlook on my life.” After graduation Bronwyn plans to attend The Ohio State University with a major in Horticulture and Crop Science. What a blessing you have been in our choirs Bronwyn. With all your hardwork and dedication we just know you will do amazing things.
