Thief River Falls has the most amazing High School Choir around. That being said, the director, Darcy Reese, gives her heart and soul to bring out the musical talent of all her students. She does this by putting us through session after session of drilling, hours of sectionals, numerous rehearsals, and then she adds a pinch of perfectionism to the mix. The results are staggering. She has multiple concerts and they always sell out. But the most important part is that she puts the students first. Her audiences listen to students excel. If you ever have the opportunity to take in one of these shows, don't hesitate. Put it on your bucket list. I have some photos of our choir from this year's Christmas Concert.
She is constantly pushing the choir to be at its best and she puts us together with some pretty amazing artists, too. Last year we performed with Robert Robinson and the Twin Cities Community Gospel Choir not only in Thief River Falls, but also in Minneapolis, Northfield, and at New York City's Lincoln Center, where Mrs. Reese even arranged a piano solo for me! Thank you Mrs. Reese!
