November 7, 2018

Big Sandy Northern Ambassadors, L to R: Everett Works, Abriana Blanton, Audrey Sipler, and Grace Finke.

Representing Big Sandy this summer at the Northern Ambassadors of Music European Tour will be Abriana Blanton who plays the flute, Grace Finke playing the alto or bass clarinet, Everett Works playing the trumpet and Audrey Sipler who also plays the flute.

Last spring, they were nominated and chosen to be a part of the Ambassadors. They will be traveling to seven different countries including England, France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Liechtenstein, and Germany. These four students along with Marla Ray who is helping to support them by being willing to help put on a Variety Show to help raise funds for their trip to Europe.

All four will play a musically instrument in a band of 400 students. All 400 will also sing throughout Europe Amanda Robertson said they will be singing in big cathedrals.

The Northern Ambassadors take this trip every two years. Mrs. Robertson went last time. And she knows what a fabulous trip it will be. They are from Montana and North Dakota.

The cathedrals are amazing. She hopes there are a lot of people participating in the talent show and the town will come out and support the students. Ticket Prices at the door will be $3 for students and $5 for adults. Donations will also be greatly appreciated. It starts at 2:00

Marla Ray been working on talent/variety show in our community for 20 years so she was a good adult to ask for help. Audrey asked her to help her put on a variety show. The kids are going to try to get a lot of kids involved. It will mostly be kids, but adult will be a part of the show as well. There will be music numbers and dancing, but it won't be just musical. Any talent is welcome. Every age too.

Marla said, "I want to acknowledge that the talent we all have comes from God and I want to bring glory to Him as well. I love working with kids and this group is so willing to work hard. They have a goal. They have an opportunity I wish I had. I want to help them. It's just the joy of it. There is a lot of talent in this town. These kinds of things are fun for the town. I love music. It's a good thing for our town."

The students are very excited about the trip, because most haven't really gone on very many trips, especially international trips. Abriana Blanton said, "I plan on being a music teacher so this experience is really important me." They will be gone for 16 days

They are going to do other fund raisers, but they will wait till the spring to but this should be a fun night! A fun night with an opportunity to support a great trip.
