PHOTO OF THE DAY: PERFORMANCE BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE

This was the scene inside the chapel at Freeman Academy Wednesday morning as the school’s Chamber Choir prepared to present a 30-minute performance to the student body. This comes in advance of the ensemble’s appearance Friday night at the South Dakota American Choral Directors Association’s winter conference; the Chamber Choir is one of four featured groups performing for the organization’s members. Pictured is choir director Dr. Rolf Olson speaking about the 7 p.m. performance at the First United Methodist Church in Sioux Falls. Members of the Chamber Choir are, from left: Jessica Paschal, Estelle Waltner, Arianne Fink, Maddie Anderson, Abigail Bradley, Stefany Cortes, Liam Ortman, Armando Miller, Sam Waltner, Jayson Allison and Thomas Ding.
