Hosea Elementary students will get their chance to shine Saturday night during the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra.

In October, the orchestra gifted 30 ukuleles, through the Performing Arts Association. Those instruments were then donated to students at Hosea Elementary School. Music teacher Joshua Lock has been working with the students with the instruments and now they kids will be taking the stage with the Orchestra Saturday at the Missouri Theatre.

“This is just part of their educational outreach,” said Beth Sharp with the Performing Arts Association. “We have a lot of groups when they tour through St. Joseph they’ll do some sort of outreach and this was particular to this group in which they will send ahead Ukuleles so they kids can preform with them on stage.”

The St. Joseph School District said on Twitter Friday that students had their last practice Friday.
