Battle Lake Junior, Claire Kraemer, recently represented her school and community as a member of the Minnesota Music Educators Association (MMEA) All-State SSAA Choir. Claire participated in the choir’s final performance of the 2025–26 season on February 14th at St. Michael–Albertville High School, performing five selections under the direction of Conductor Dr. Adrianna Tam.
Claire’s All-State Choir journey began in the summer of 2025, when she attended the MMEA All-State Camp from July 29–August 2 at Concordia College in Moorhead. The camp brought together some of the most dedicated and talented high school vocalists from across Minnesota, offering them an opportunity to grow musically and connect through performance.
