ONAMIA, MN- Hinckley Finlayson High School students traveled to Onamia to compete in a Vocal Solo & Ensemble Contest on April 20. The amazing group was lead by experienced teacher and singer, Elizabeth Sikkink. She has participated in competitions, choirs and operas after her high school career. Maybe you’ve heard of a few: The Magic Flute, A Noward Coward Compilation or Didos and Aeneas? “I teach Choir because music lured me into the profession. I love leading students to become great singers. I believe that everyone can sing, they can just lack confidence if they don't believe they can. I strive to give students the confidence to sing in a group and individually.” said Ms. Sikkink. This year there is roughly 34 students that participate in choir. The contest is split into two groups one containing soloists and on a group of one or more performing together. Choir contests are held throughout the school year.
