Pageant winners to perform to support music in schools

Sarah Brown and Katherine Weber always have had music in common.

Brown and Weber, who won several vocal solo contests in high school, also share the same platform for the Miss Wisconsin Pageant — music and arts education.

Weber, Miss Holmen, and Brown, Miss Midwest Wisconsin, will compete against each other June 30 at the Miss Wisconsin Pageant, but Saturday they will share the stage to raise money for music programs at their schools.

“We thought we could do this together and bring our communities together,” Brown said. “We wanted something that could involve the community and showcase the arts, especially music.”

Weber, a 2006 Holmen High School graduate now majoring in vocal performance at Viterbo University, will sing “Art is Calling for Me” from the operetta, “The Enchantress,” which won her solo competitions in high school. She also will sing the song at the Miss Wisconsin Pageant.

Brown, a 2004 Onalaska High School graduate, will sing the Linda Eder song “Gold” at the concert and state pageant. She attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for two years and now takes general credits at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. She plans to return to Berklee for vocal performance and professional music business/songwriting.
