Hornung said with so many youth involved within the program, run entirely by volunteers, the community support received from the Battlefords and area has been imperative to the continued growth and stability of the choir. The support continues to provide children with a musical outlet within their region.

“Our community is incredible,” she said. “I take such pride in sharing the stuff about our community with my colleagues outside of North Battleford and they just shake their head, and go ‘Wow.’”

“The audience turnout we get and also the in-kind volunteer support, with the financial help we receive, it’s mind boggling how supportive people are in showing up for the youth in our community and supporting the arts in our community as well. I just can’t say that strongly enough,” Hornung added.

Donations will be received at the door Sunday, with all proceeds going toward the children and the choir program, they are enrolled in. Hornung said the program offers both musical and everyday lessons. 

“There really is something to be said for the comradery that’s there,” she said. “I think it’s so important to have a peer support group and this is one. The older, middle aged and younger kids all hang out together and watch out for one another. It’s not just musical skills they’re learning, but also good leadership skills, commitment, teamwork and a range of life lessons that way. It just happens to be music we use as the tool to bring it all together.”
