By Noah Sturgess – Loveland, Colorado … After a year of absence due to the pandemic, Campion Academy joined with other academies for the annual Union College Music Festival the first week of February in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Campion sent 14 students to spend four days rehearsing and performing news songs alongside other students taking part in the event.
Edward, Campion senior, reflected on being back at the event after the year of absence. “Returning to the music festival was something I was not expecting. It was different from last time, but just as fun. New music and new people made this trip worthwhile.”
On Sabbath, Campion students and other academies had the experience of playing for the College View Church service.
Jack, Campion freshman violinist, won a young artist solo award. Along with this award, he received a $1,000 scholarship.
The students also toured Union College and were able to create memories. “It was a great opportunity to play music with other schools and spend time with my friends. I got to see alumni from Campion at Union all while taking a break from studies,” said Ivan, Campion senior.
