Submitted | The Miller Press | February 19, 2020 EIGHT LADIES from Sunshine Bible Academy participated in the Festival of Women’s Voices at South Dakota State University on February 13. They spent all day in rehearsal, and performed in the evening at the Larson Concert Hall in the Performing Arts Center, with over 70 other high school girls and the 120 member SDSU women’s choir, Choralia. There were originally supposed to be well over 100 high school singers, however, some schools were not able to attend, due to weather. The high school singers sang two pieces (with the aid of a few college students to make up for all of the missing people), and both groups sang two pieces together. High school students were also treated to a variety of musical selec- tions performed by Choralia.
