Brandenberger receives choral award
Katie Brandenberger, a student at Berean Academy, recently was presented the National Choral Award. This award recognizes singular merit, ability, and achievement of outstanding contributions to the success of the school vocal program and of an unusual degree of loyalty, cooperation, and high qualities of conduct.
In addition, Brandenberger received a I rating on her vocal solos at the state music competition in the spring at Cloud County Community College. She had previously received a I rating at the regional music festival at Tabor College, Hillsboro, which qualified her for state.
She has been a member of choir, honors choir, and the Berean forensics team of which she also advanced to the state semi-finals with her poetry interpretation and duet acting.
Brandenberger is the daughter of Cherri Brandenberger of rural Sedgwick and the late Harry Brandenberger. She is the granddaughter of Dolores Ottensmeier of Marion.
