Abigail Brown – Loveland, Colorado … The touring music groups of Campion Academy (CA)  in Loveland, Colorado—Koinonia, Bells, and Jazz Band—traveled through Kansas for their annual music tour this year, April 15-19, led by CA music director Naomi Fernandez.

The groups performed their songs at many different schools and churches. Along the way they also had joint performances with Midland Adventist Academy (MAA) in Shawnee, Kansas, and College View Academy (CVA) in Lincoln, Nebraska, giving them a unique experience to connect with other music students.

The first stop was at Adventist Christian School (ACS) in Greeley, Colorado. After that, they performed at Topeka Adventist Chirstian School (TACS) in Topeka, Kansas, and finally traveled to MAA where they stayed the night.

On Friday, the groups got to mix in some fun at BRKThrough,* a local escape room, and met up with students from MAA and CVA who were also touring in Kansas. “It was fun going to BRKthrough with everyone and playing team building exercises. Everyone enjoyed getting to know the students and staff from the other schools too,” stated Fernandez.

Another popular moment on the music tour was when the Campion group went to the mall. A lot of people went out to eat, and they enjoyed the restaurants that were there. “I loved going to Panera with all my friends. The food was really good, and it was fun sharing new memories with everyone,” expressed CA student Grace B.

Campion Students performed with CVA and MAA at one of the churches in Kansas for a special Sabbath service and hung out together for the afternoon and evening. The church members and schools were all very welcoming and demonstrated gratitude for the students’ performances.

Zach H., CA student, recalled, “My favorite moment was playing basketball with CVA. It was fun getting to know them.”

After a whirlwind tour filled with performances and fun with other schools, the students returned back to Campion on Sunday.
