Four Hillsboro High School youth left Sunday for a week of hard work
in Baldwin City.
The four, all band students, were given the opportunity to participate
for a week in the Kansas Lions Band Camp, under the overall direction
of Ray James, director of bands at Baker University in Baldwin City.
The Hillsboro Lions Clubs are sponsoring these four students: Chelsea
D?Albini, Krista Henley and Esther Richert and Kenneth Tamatt.
After a week of intense study and practice, this Kansas Lions All
State Band of about 230 students will perform a concert for the Kansas
Lions State Convention. It will be held in the George F. Collins
Sports & Convention Center at Baker University Saturday, June 3. The
public is invited to attend.
According to Elfrieda Funk, Hillsboro, council chairman of the Kansas
Lions, ?If this concert is anything like the previous ones, it will be
fabulous! It?s amazing what the directors and students can accomplish
in one week.?
Students D?Albini, Henley, Richert and Tamatt are also looking forward
to playing in the Kansas Lions High School International Band. They
will travel to Honolulu, Hawaii, for the International Lions
Convention June 18-24 with about 120 other Kansas band students.
A highlight will be playing for the second plenary session at the
convention. They will also do a lot of sightseeing and spend time on
the beach.
The Hillsboro Noon and Evening Lions Clubs are paying a portion of the
scholarships for these students.
But they have come up with some of the finds on their own and have
held fund-raising events to help
