NATIONAL FINE ARTS FESTIVAL - ORLANDO
Wow - what a week! 25 students took part in the National Fine Arts Festival in Orlando, Florida, competing in a variety of categories all pertaining to the Arts: instrumental, vocal, theatrical, preaching, and physical art just to name a few. This festival encourages students to develop their Arts abilities in many different areas, and to do it for God’s glory and purpose. Our theme this week was to stay on mission and in tune with God’s purpose, and it was a catalyst for many great conversations. Each of our students has grown tremendously through this process, and we know great things are in store!
Stay tuned for more information about Fine Arts 2023. This is an annual festival we participate in, and 6th through 12th graders are eligible. Mark your calendars for March 17-18, 2023 when we will again host District Fine Arts on the Trinity campus.
NATIONAL ANTHEM AUDITIONS
We are looking for students who would like to sing the National Anthem at a sporting event or other special event throughout the school year. Football games are a tradition, of course, and we would consider other events as well. If you would like to be considered, please submit a video of yourself singing the National Anthem acapella to tim.hurt@tcslions.org. This is formally how you audition. We can’t wait to hear what you submit!
