The Honeybees Acapella Group is a group of all-girl singers that come together once a week for rehearsal and have performances throughout the year.

“I want to get them more gigs in general. Last year we just performed at the concert,” said Mr. Strickland. Strickland is back teaching choir at Woodford County High School for the second year.

He says his reasoning for becoming a choir teacher was his high school music teacher who was a big role model for him and said he wanted to be just like her. Strickland went to the University of Kentucky and majored in Vocal Music Education.

This is Emma Cheser’s (10) first year of joining the Honeybees Acapella Group. “I like everyone’s sounds together, and how we don’t have to, like, rely on a piano,” said Cheser. Afton Skeeters (9) has also joined the Honeybees this year for the first time. She said that she never really had the opportunity to join an acapella group before up until now. Abigail Santos (10) has returned to the Honeybees for a second year. Although Santos would not like to pursue a career in the future involved with music and singing, she would like to keep it as a hobby all throughout her life.
