Congratulations to Adair County choir and Ms. Foust

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com

Congratulations to Ms Pam Hurt Foust and her chorus on singing for the Legislature. I have gone to their spring and winter concerts at Lindsey and have always been amazed at the quality of their music. I have also been amazed at the lack of support from faculty and administration for the chorus and Ms. Foust's programs. Hopefully, one of these days you will realize what a gem you have had in her. There is more to music education than rap, country and the band!

David A Pyles
