Supe's On BV Musicians shine bright on big stage

Music and the Fine Arts are an important aspect of K-12 education. Whether vocal, instrumental or visual, Fine Arts have a profound impact on students and their educational experiences. Recently, several of our music groups had the distinct privilege and honor to perform at the 2023 In-service Music Conference on the South Dakota State University Campus at the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center. 

The Brandon Valley High School Concert Choir performed on Thursday, Feb. 9 and provided an opportunity to highlight Terry Gullickson’s 38-year career in vocal music education. The Brandon Valley High School Wind Ensemble performed on Friday, Feb. 10 and left all those in attendance in amazement as the complexity of the pieces performed were done so with incredible creativity. On Saturday, Feb. 11, the Brandon Valley Intermediate School Band took to the biggest of stages and showcased their incredible talent. The strong foundational work done within our Brandon Valley Band program was on full display. 

Fine Arts opportunities are essential for providing students with a well-rounded educational experience, which supports the foundation for future successes. Further, Music and Fine Arts help to foster student creativity and collaboration, all while exploring cultural traditions and values. A special “congratulations” and “great job” to all our Lynx that were highlighted at South Dakota’s premier K-12 music professional development opportunity. 

Go Lynx!
