Kelsey Martens, Darci Kehler and Brooklyn Giesbrecht - Winners of the Kelvin Goertzen Trophy for Vocal Duet, Trio Or Ensemble – 12 Years and Over - stopped by the AM1250 Studio this morning. 

What a lovely night of ensemble singing at the Southeastern Manitoba Festival this past Monday night! The festival began with vocal week which continues at the Steinbach MB Church today and tomorrow, culminating in the Awards Night which takes place Thursday, February 22nd at 7:00 pm. 

Thousands of young people have prepared for hours, days and months for their festival performances and much like Kelsey, Darci and Brooklyn, hope for their BEST performance while up on stage. You can hear their amazing three part harmony and AM1250's Michelle Sawatzky's conversation with all three of them in the AM1250 Audio Vault.
