The eighth grade girls choir (aka “The Knightengales”) practices at Springville Junior High School every Tuesday, but they aren't always cooped up here at the school. On December 18th, 2012, the Knightengales went on tour to elementary schools all around Springville! All of the girls participating were really excited, and after how hard they've worked, its easy to see why!
These girls went to Brookside, Art City, Cherry Creek, Westside, and Sage Creek Elementary. They also got one other special treat . . . they went to the mall for lunch! But it wasn't at all easy to earn participation for this tour. It was actually a lot of hard work! According to Tyree Strong, an eighth grader here at SJHS, the Knightengales practiced every Tuesday at Quest Time, went to two early practices at 6:30 in the morning, and they couldn't have a lot of tardies or absences, or else they couldn't go. They couldn’t have deficient grades either. “It”s a lot of work, but it’s also fun!” said Mrs. Walker, choir teacher at SJHS.
So, why does the school arrange tours like this? Well, there are many reasons the girls are allowed to go on such fun trips! “The kids seem to really like it. It also lets them know about choir, and hopefully, they will join it some day,” said Mrs. Walker. According to Shyann Molster, it’s also so they can show their talent off to other schools around town. “It’s awesome! And we sound awesome!” said eighth grader Lauren Beisinger.
