The Bronco Chorale took to the big stage. On September 26, before the Atlanta Braves hosted the Chicago Cubs, the Bennett’s Mill Middle chorus performed the National Anthem, showcasing their vocal skills for a sold out stadium of more than 40,000 fans.
Under the direction of Tiffany Peoples, the Bronco Chorale, a combined chorus of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, impressed the Braves organization with their musical passion. They prepared the 3-part harmony piece over about 4 weeks of practice. They were even deemed ”best behaved middle school group we’ve ever seen” as they brought a touch of musical magic to America’s favorite pastime.
“I am beyond proud of them,” said Peoples.
