Choir Conference Performance Addison Atlee
The Highland Academy choir brought a heartfelt harmony to the KY-TN Conference party on Wednesday, December 4, transforming Paradise Ranch into a sanctuary of music and gratitude. Arriving at 7:00 pm, the choir set up their electric keyboard, played by Harang Kim, and prepared for an uplifting performance. Students like Naomi Houston shared, “That place was even prettier then I had expected” about the beautiful setting. After a few words of acknowledgement from Elder Steve Haley, the conference president, and Haraldo Alvarez, the choir director/teacher, the choir sang the following songs: “Goodness Of God,” “Adore,” and “He Is the Everlasting God.” Then Genrickh Semanivskyy played, “Un dia de Noviembre” (A day in
November) by a Cuban composer on his classical guitar. After a round of applause, lyrics were spread out to each staff member present to sing the last song, “Peace, Peace, Peace,” as a congregational. What came next was unexpected. The choir girls spread out and formed a circle around the tables where the staff was seated and sang the song while
the staff joined in. To end the night, everyone put a hand on one another’s back while Haley gave thanks and prayed over everyone. On the bus ride back Keianna Pledge expressed how many felt saying, “I was really nervous at first but it was really fun.” The choir expressed their gratitude
to have performed in the beautiful setting and for the Conference.
