Freeport chorale students perform at conference

The Freeport High School Select Chorale was invited to perform at the culmination of the 2023 National School Boards Association conference, which was held in Orlando, Florida.

The NSBA selection committee had requested a recording of the Select Chorale from the district for their consideration, and after being selected, the members of the National School Boards Association were captivated by their performance under the direction of Monique Retzlaff.

The repertoire included several musical selections such as “Lacrymosa” by W.A. Mozart, “On My Journey Home,” a traditional Irish harp tune by Jeffrey Douma, “Sicut Lilium Inter Spinas” by M. Raczynski, and “Ritmo” by Dan Davison.

Superintendent of Schools Kishore Kuncham expressed his pride in the Select Chorale’s performance during the NSBA conference, highlighting the exceptional talent and dedication of the students and the effort they had put into perfecting their performance.

“I was so proud to see our Select Chorale perform during the NSBA conference,” Kuncham said. “Their performance showed just how extraordinarily talented and dedicated they are and how much effort went into perfecting their performance.”

The Freeport Select Chorale has a history of performing at esteemed venues, including Carnegie Hall, the Empire State Building, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and Radio City Music Hall.

They have also been invited to sing at various local, regional, state, and national events.
