Malachi King, 7th grader, was selected for the UNO Middle School honor choir held on February 8, 2016. Over 180 7th and 8th graders from across the state auditioned for the honor choir, and Malachi was one of 100 selected to participate. The honor choir students rehearsed all day on Friday with guest conductor Frank Watkins who currently is a music teacher at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Clair, and is an Omaha native. The day ended with a final concert open to the public where the middle school honor choir performed all five songs they had been working on throughout the day. Students selected for this honor choir were responsible for learning most of the music on their own over winter break in preparation for this day and came together on Friday to rehearse and create beautiful music together.
