A handful of Libby children’s choir members recently met and performed with an American Idol winner.
Libby Schools choir teacher Lorraine Braun’s son Benjamin Watson directs a children’s choir in Rexburg, Idaho. He invited her to bring some of her after-school children’s choir members to join his performers Nov. 26 in the Rexburg Children’s Choir Christmas Concert with Iam Tongi.
Tongi is a 20-year-old Hawaiian who won season 21 of the long-running American singing competition television series. The concert featured combined songs along with arrangements just for Tongi and the choir. The children’s choir is made up of 92 children aged 9 to 17 and this year marked their seventh annual Christmas concert.
