HUNTINGDON (April 12) — Carroll Arts, Inc. held its third annual Celebration of the Arts at The Dixie Carter Performing Arts and Academic Enrichment Center on Saturday.

During the performance portion of the evening, Hollow Rock-Bruceton Central High School band students performed two pieces, “Aggressivo” by Standridge and “Dixieland Struttin’” by Osterling under the direction of Keith Breeden.

Isaac Stephen Walker sang two songs, “Luck Be A Lady” by Frank Sinatra and “Stars” from Les Miserables. Jay Mills performed “I Don’t Care Much for Cabaret.”

McKenzie High School Freshman Sophie Cole sang, “The Commission” and “King of Kings.” McKenzie Senior Aydin Neely performed “More Than Anything.”

A Huntingdon High School band quintet then took to the stage to perform “A Taste of Honey,” followed by a larger ensemble that performed “Jupiter.”

The event was well attended with The Dixie reporting 207 attendees.
