“This is a great honor and a feeling that you can’t describe,” said Stone. Eulberg said that it was a “pretty big honor” to be selected all four years of high school. Both Stone and Gleason said that it’s wonderful to share the honor with someone, and it’s great to have Dell Rapids have recognition for the four-year recipients.
Even though the selections have been made, the hard work continues for these students. Gleason said, “There is a rehearsal day that is held in Brookings. This allows everyone to get together to go over the songs and learn the foreign language pronunciations because there is only two days to get the concert put together with everyone.”
The students from both Dell Rapids High School and Dell Rapids St Mary will continue to practice many times a week in preparation for the performance on November 2nd.
