O'Neill choir students have been on the road the past few weeks performing in honor choirs across the state. 

Blake Johnston and Makenzie Petersen (above) performed on Monday, Jan. 11 in the Doane College Vocal Festival Honor Choir.  They joined 250 students from 70 schools in preparing and performing an amazing selection of choral pieces under the direction of Dr. Kurt Runestad.  
Samuel Carstens and Christopher Jennings joined 150 students from across Nebraska in the Singing Youth of Nebraska Honor choir held in North Platte on Jan. 23.
