On Friday February 20th Eastview High school in Apple Valley had a sing a thon. The auditorium was filled with student and some parent. It was called Voices of Hope. A sing-a-thon from 8:00 am to 12:00 am the next morning. The target goal was to raise twenty five thousand dollars. The event was held by the Eastview high school’s women choral. Some of the performers were Japanese classes, Spanish classes, lunch ladies, women choral, concert choir and more. “I never knew we had that much singing talent in our school that wierd but I think this is great that Eastview is doing this” said Travis Schweiger a student watching.
The event was well attended and a great number of students and faculty were involved. Allot of people donated money to claim a spot on the schedule to sing. Many alumni returned to support the cause and some even share their talent. Once special alumni returned; her name is Brooke Kilgarriff. Brooke is Miss Twin Cities and is also a former Eastview student graduating year of 2007, She was the announcer. She also sang a couple of songs.
Classes from every hour throughout the school day attended the event and filled up almost every seat in the performing arts center, the crowd continued to attend into the evening. There were a lot of volunteers who put a great of effort. Another main objective of the benefit was a petition, to keep musical education in the schools. This petition will show law makers that it is not a good idea to cut fund for music education in school. Because music is much more than just singing.
