Among the 42 ACGC FFA members who attended the State FFA Leadership Conference from April 19-21, several students showcased their talents in ways beyond competition.
Two members represented the chapter in the State FFA Band. Laurin Davis, a junior, played the alto saxophone and has now participated in the band for three years. Dayton Crawley, a freshman, performed on the tuba, making this his first time being involved in conference band activities.
In addition to the band, four members participated in the State FFA Chorus. Senior members Carter Dinkla and Tanner Downing joined junior members Montana Douglas and Allison Drake. Montana and Allison have each been selected for the chorus for three years, while this marked the first year of participation for Carter and Tanner.
While some members shared their musical talents, others took on important leadership and service roles throughout the conference. Carter Richter, Chase Slaybaugh, Colt Douglas, Calleigh Wolfe, Carrett Lemke, Cole Van Meter, Carson Kading and Tessa Slaybaugh served on the Courtesy Corps. In this role, they assisted members from across the state by helping with event logistics, guiding participants to contests, and working behind the scenes to keep the conference running smoothly.
Additionally, two seniors, Lucy Knutter and Shelby Gustin, served as voting delegates for the chapter, representing ACGC FFA in important decision-making processes during the conference.
