Turner choir performs at KSBA conference

The Robert B. Turner Elementary choir performed at the Kentucky School Boards Association conference at the Galt House in Louisville on Feb. 23.
Music teacher and director Monica Drury said she had sent in an application to sing back in November, and the choir was accepted in December.
The songs the choir sang include “It’s Always a Good Time” as performed by Owl City and Carley Raye Jepsen and “It’s all About Music” by Ethan Bortnick.
“Interestingly, Ethan Bortnick is a 12-year-old boy who holds the record as the world’s youngest solo musician to headline his own tour,” director Monica Drury said via e-mail.
“For many of the kids in our group, music is what gets them through the tough times. For many of us it really is ‘All About Music.’ I am very proud of the way our students behaved and performed!”
