WEST LAFAYETTE – Jacob and Anna Burrus represented Lawrence County at 4-H Round-Up. The brother and sister were part of the Performing Arts portion at Round-Up.
They performed at Loeb Playhouse inside the Stewart Center on Purdue Campus for all of the delegates, families, and friends.
Jacob and Anna earned the opportunity to attend by winning the Performing Arts Area 2 competition. The siblings went to Clarke County to compete with other 4-Hers in Area 2. The brother and sister team won the competition which made them eligible to go to 4-H Round-Up at Purdue University where they performed with the other area winners from across Indiana.
The two siblings played a duet with the glockenspiel xylophone and the piano along with a comedy act before their musical performance on deciding what to play. Jacob suggested Carol of the Bells and then they went into the history of why it wasn’t originally a Christmas song. In the end, the two played Carol of the Bells with Jacob on the glockenspiel xylophone and Anna on the piano.
The winners had a variety of talents they showcased including playing the bagpipes, the piano, singing, and the harpsichord to name a few.
