Local choirs reach high note in Leavenworth

 

Amid the snow and shoppers, choirs from all three of Snoqualmie Valley’s middle schools performed in Leavenworth Dec. 12, adding to the musical atmosphere of the Bavarian town.

Although the teenage singers performed in a gazebo in downtown Leavenworth, their voices were heard throughout the shopping district. Microphones in the gazebo picked up their songs and broadcast them live to local venues.

 

Chief Kanim Middle School choir students sing “This Little Light of Mine” as they hold candles during a winter performance.
