 The halls were alive with the sound of choral music at Central Lakes College in Brainerd yesterday and today as the Linda Dryden Memorial Music Festival took place bringing together local high school students in the community for two days of choral music training and fun. The event saw the singers go through a master class with a guest artist before being brought together for a mass choir rehearsal to work on two choral pieces. Organizers say this event is important in reminding students that singing doesn't have to end after high school or college. There's and there's always opportunities we want to show them for something like this that there's opportunities beyond high school and beyond college even to participate in that life singing is a lifelong art. The participants in the festival included singers from four area high schools, the CLC Choir and the Legacy Choral.
