THE GOOD LIFE CAFE CLOSED ON WEDNESDAY DUE TO THE THREAT.

>>> OUR REPORTER MATTHEW FREEMAN JOINED 39 OTHER BEMIDJIANS YESTERDAY IN ST.

PAUL FOR THE 19th ANNUAL BEMIDJI DAY AT THE CAPITOL.

HE SPOKE WITH BEMIDJI MAYOR, JORGE PRINCE, ABOUT THE CITY'S LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES AND HOW LOBBYING FOR THOSE PRIORITIES WENT WITH STATE LEGISLATORS.

>> Matthew: HOUSING, DISASTER RECOVERY, AND MAINTAINING LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID WERE ONLY SOME OF THE CITY OF BEMIDJI'S LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES HEADING INTO THIS YEAR'S LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

BEMIDJI MAYOR GEORGE PRINCE AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AUDREY THAYER IMPOORDED A BUS AT 6 A.M.

DOWN TO ST.

LOUIS TO LOBBY.

>> I'M GRATEFUL I WAS ABLE TO BE HERE ALONG WITH MY FELLOW BEMIDJIIANS AND I THINK WE GOT GOOD THINGS DONE.

>> Matthew: WHILE DISCUSSING HOUSING, THE CITY BELIEVES IN MAINTAINING OUTSIDE HOUSING DOLLARS AND GRANT STUNTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING OF ALL TYPES.

'S THE CITY IS REPORTEDLY DOWN BY 1300 UNITS DOOUG TO THE GROWING POPULATION.

A BILL IS ALSO BEING INTRODUCED INTO THE HOUSE THAT WOULD GIVE GREATER ZONING CONTROL DOT STATE OVER LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

>> I DON'T THINK THAT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF BEMIDJI BECAUSE IT WOULD PUT US IN A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE WITH CITIES AROUND US.

>> WOULD REQUIRE CITIES TO ALLOW ANOTHER DWELLING TO BE PUT ON A CITY LOT, SO YOU CAN HAVE A TINY HOME FOR YOUR KIDS OR SOMETHING ON YOUR EXISTING LOT, AND IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA, BUT FORCING CITIES TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT FROM ST.

PAULst NOT -- THAT SHOULD BE UP TO YOU GUYS TO MAKE THAT DECISION.

>> Matthew: THE CITY ALSO WAMENTED TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR A BILL TO FUND 100% OF DISASTER RECOVERY EXPENSES FROM THE JUNE 21st WIND STORM.

THE CITY SUFFERED ROUGHLY $8.2 MILLION IN DAMAGES.

THE BILL WOULD MAKE RECOVERY MATERIAL TAX EXEMPT AS WELL.

>> WE'RE GOING TO SPEND $56 BILLION IN THE STATE, WE SHOULD MAKE SURE WE'RE PRIORITIZING OUR COMMUNITIES AND FAMILIES IN ISSUES LIKE THIS.

WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY THAT'S GOING ON, THAT'S A GREAT WAY OF DOING BECAUSE IT'S PRODUCTIVE, RIGHT?

YOU'RE OUT THERE BUYING MATERIAL TO REBUILD THE TOWN.

IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S BEING THROWN OUT TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S RIGHT HERE IN MINNESOTA.

TO ME, IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO DO THAT.

>> Matthew: MAYOR PRINCE PARTNERED WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD CHAIR AND LOBBIED WITH THREE REPRESENTATIVES AND ONE SENATOR DURING THEIR DAY AT THE CAPITOL.

REPORTING FROM ST.

PAUL, I'M MATTHEW FREEMAN, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> Dennis: ON MONDAY, MATTHEW FREEMAN WILL HAVE A MORE EXTENSIVE LOOK INTO BELTRAMI COUNTY'S DAY AT THE CAPITOL.

HE SPOKE WITH COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TOM BARRY AND HEARD FROM OTHER STATE LEGISLATORS ABOUT THE COUNTY'S PRIORITIES.

>>> THE BRAINERD LAKES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE INVITED AREA LAWMAKERS TO DISCUSS WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE CAPITOL DURING THEIR ANNUAL EGGS AND ISSUES LEGISLATIVE BREAKFAST THIS MORNING.

REPORTER MILES WALKER HAS THE STORY.

>> EGGS AND ISSUES TRADITIONALLY FOCUSES ON BUSINESS, JOBS, AND THE ECONOMY IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA.

HOWEVER, ANOTHER OVERARCHING TOPIC CENTERED AROUND HOW MUCH MONEY'S STATE IS BRINGING IN OPPOSED TO HOW MUCH MONEY THE STATE IS SPENDING.

>> WE'RE INTEND SPENDING MORE THAN WE'RE BRINGING IN, AND ME PERSONALLY, I THINK THE TRUMP ECONOMY HAD BEEN HELPING WITH BRINGING IN MORE TAX DOLLARS TO THE STATE, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE THAT SURPLUS, GIVE IT BACK IN THE FORM OF PROPERTY TAX RELIEF AND THEN LOOKING FORWARD, WE NEED TO CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING.

>> Miles: OTHER TALKING POINTS REVOLVED AROUND MAKING SURE SMALL BUSINESSES CITIZEN TO GROW.

>> SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS KNOW WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.

THEY NEED TO GET OUT OF THEIR WAY, STOP WITH THE MANDATES, STOP WITH THE TAXATION AND JUST GET OUT OF THE WAY.

LET OUR SMALL BUSINESSES DO WHAT OUR SMALL BUSINESSES DO.

>> Miles: GETTING PERMITTING TIMELINES BACK ON TRACK.

>> THIS IS SOMETHING THAT POTENTIALLY PUTS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS MORE INTO MINNESOTA'S ECONOMY AND FOR THOSE FOLKS WORKING IN THE TRADE AND FOR OUR UNION FOLKS TRYING TO -- OUR 49ERS DOING ALL THIS DIRT WORK AND SO ON, SO FORTH, IT'S IMPORTANT WE HAVE PERMITTING RIGHT IN MINNESOTA.

>> Miles: TREATING FRAUD AS A BUSINESS ISSUE.

>> I DON'T THINK ANYBODY KNEW HOW MUCH FRAUD WAS HAPPENING AND IT STAGGERING.

IT'S IN EVERY PROGRAM.

>> ONE OF THE FEEDING OUR FUTURE BUSINESSES WAS STILL RECEIVING R I BELIEVE IT WAS CCAP FUNDING, THE CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

>> Miles: AS WELL AS INVESTING IN HIGH IMPACT PROJECTS SUCH AS THE NATIONAL LOON CENTER AND THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.

>> SECURING LEGACY DOLLARS FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS IS VERY DB WE CAN WORK ON THINGS THROUGH THAT PROCESS THAT THE LEGISLATIVE CITIZENS COMMISSION ON MINNESOTA RESOURCES.

THERE'S A WHOLE ROUND OF FUNDING COMING IN.

>> Miles: REPORTING IN EAST GOAL LAKE, MILES WALKER, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> Dennis: THE SESSION MUST ADJOURNED BY MAY 28 THIS YEAR.

>>> THE BELTRAMI COUNTY HISTORY CENTER WAS RECENTLY AWARDED A MINNESOTA HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE GRANT FROM THE MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

THE MONEY IS SET TO GO TOWARDS PROVIDING PROPER STORAGE MATERIALS AND HELP PROVIDE APPROPRIATE CARE FOR COLLECTED ITEMS WITHIN THE MUSEUM.

THE HISTORY CENTER RECEIVED JUST AROUND $74,000 TO GO TOWARDS CALLING AND CATALOGING NEGATIVES FOR THE SCHERLING COLLECTION.

ORLANDO SCHERLING WAS THE MAIN PHOTOGRAPHER IN BEMIDJI FROM THE 1940s TO THE 1970s, TAKING EVERYTHING FROM PERSONAL PORTRAITS AND SCHOOL PHOTOS TO SHOOTING WEDDINGS.

NOW WORKERS ARE CATALOGING 73 BOXES FULL OF HIS WORKS WITH ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LEDGERS AND NAMES ATTACHED TO THE PHOTOS.

>> THEY CAME TO US AS ENVELOPES AND NEGATIVES.

SOME OF THEM ARE CUTS AND SOME AREN'T.

EACH ENVELOPE REPRESENTING ONE SITTING OR ONE SET.

WE EXPECT THERE'S ROUGHLY 150,000 ENVELOPES, SO WE'RE TALKING MILLIONS OF NEGATIVES.

WE'RE SELECTING THE BEST NEGATIVE FROM EACH ENVELOPE SO WE CAN THEN EVENTUALLY SEND ALL THIS INFORMATION TO BE DIGITIZED SO THAT FOLKS WILL BE ABLE TO GO ON OUR WEBSITE ONE DAY IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE AND SEARCH FOR THEIR AUDIENCES, THEIR UNCLES, PARENTS, IMPRAUPTS FROM THAT TIME PERIOD AND PULL UP THOSE PHOTOS.

>> Dennis: THE CATALOGING PROCESS FOR THE 150,000 ENVELOPES OF PHOTOS WILL TAKE ANYWHERE FROM SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR TO COMPLETE, THEN WILL BE SENT TO BE DIGITIZED.

MAKING EVERYTHING ELECTRONIC NOT ONLY KEEPS UP WITH THE TIMES, BUT THERE WILL BE NO MORE RISK OF DAMAGING OR LOSING THE PHOTOS IF THEY ARE UPLOADED INTO THE BELTRAMI COUNTY HISTORY CENTER ARCHIVES.

>> Announcer: STILL TO COME ON LAKELAND NEWS AT 10: >> Stacy: MUCH OF THE AREA REMAINS UNDER A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TONIGHT.

>> Dennis: THE MINNESOTA DNR IS KEEPING A THREE-WALLEYE LIMIT ON MILLE LACS LAKE FOR THE 2026 OPEN WATER SEASON.

THE THREE-WALLEYE LIMIT WAS IN PLACE LATE LAST SUMMER THROUGH THE ICE FISHING SEASON.

HARVESTED WALLEYES MUST BE 17 INCHES OR GREATER, WITH ONLY ONE OVER 20 INCHES.

STATE-LICENSED ANGLERS SHARE THE HARVEST ON MILLE LACS WITH OJIBWE TRIBES THAT RETAIN FISHING RIGHTS BY TREATY.

TO CONSERVE THE FISHERY, AN ANNUAL HARVEST LEVEL IS SET THROUGH DISCUSSION AND AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE STATE AND THE TRIBAL NATIONS, WITH EACH PARTY SETTING REGULATIONS TO STAY WITHIN THEIR SHARE OF THE HARVEST.

THIS YEAR'S HARVEST LEVEL REFLECTS A SLIGHT DECLINE IN THE ADULT WALLEYE POPULATION THAT WAS OBSERVED IN LAST FALL'S ASSESSMENT NETTING.

HARVEST IS SET AT 105,300 POUNDS FOR STATE-LICENSED ANGLERS AND 79,700 POUNDS FOR TRIBAL FISHING.

THE STATE'S SHARE OF THE HARVEST IN 2025 WAS 113,600 POUNDS.

WE EVEN HAVE OUR TOWER CAM ICED UP DUE TO SOME OF THAT FREEZING RAIN HERE IN BEMIDJI.

WE COULD CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT MIXED PRECIPITATION, MAINLY INTO CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA TONIGHT.

THOSE AREAS STILL UNDER A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY, SO RAIN, SNOW, AND FREEZING RAIN SHOULD MOVE OUT AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW.

SUNNY SKIES RETURN AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMING UNTHROUGH THE WEEKEND.

RIGHT NOW, BEMIDJI IS 21 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT.

AT THE STUDIO, WINDS NORTH AT 6 MILES PER HOUR.

ON OUR SATELLITE AND RADAR, WE CAN SEE THE CLOUD AND SEE THE PRECIPITATION AND AS YOU CAN SEE, MOE OF IT IS -- MOST OF IT IS RIGHT NOW LOCATED IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA WITH THAT MIX OF RAIN, FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW.

THAT CONTINUES IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA TONIGHT WITH A SMARL CHANCE MOVING MORE INTO NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA, EVEN PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL MINNESOTA.

ALL OF THIS SHOULD BE COMING TO AN END AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW WITH SUNNY SKIES RETURNING AND WARMING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

BEMIDJI TOPPING OUT AT 35, SEASONAL HIGH TEMPERATURE, BUT AGAIN FALLING TEMPERATURES TODAY.

21 IS OUR LOW AND 6:50 THE SUNRISE.

LOOKING AT TOMORROW'S FORECAST, THERE'S A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW LINGERING TOMORROW MORNING, BUT BY AND LARGE, WE'LL BE SEEING CLOUDS MOVE OUT OF THE AREA.

TEMPERATURE-WISE, UPPER 30s IN THE FAR NORTH AND A LOT OF LOW TO MID 40s IN MORN MINNESOTA AND IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA, WE SHOULD EXPECT MID TO EVEN UPPER 40s.

CHARLIE IS HERE NOW.

BSU MEN'S HOCKEY PLAYOFFS UNDER WAY.

IT'S A THREE-GAME BEST OF THREE SERIOUS AND THEY WERE TALKING ON AUGUSTANA JUST LAST YEAR IN THE SAME SEEDINGS AS WELL.

ALSO FROM AROUND THE AREA, STATE HOCKEY GOING ON, SECTION BASKETBALL.

WE HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTS AND SCORES >>> AND NOW YOUR LOCAL SPORTS WITH CHARLIE YAEGER.

>> Charlie: BSU MEN'S HOCKEY FINDS THEMSELVES IN FAMILIAR TERRITORY.

ONE YEAR AGO, THE 6-SEEDED BEAVERS WERE ON THE ROAD WITH 3-SEED AUGUSTANA IN THE MASON CUP QUARTERFINALS.

THEY WERE ABLE TO WIN THE BEST OF THREE SERIES AND MOVE TO THE SEMIS.

THIS YEAR, THEY'RE PRESENTED WITH THE SAME EXACT SCENARIO.

BSU COMING OFF A WIN AND TIE WITH ST.

THOMAS TO FINISH THE REGULAR SEASON AND HOPING TO CARRY THAT MOMENTUM INTO GAME ONE.

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT WASN'T THE CASE.

ALREADY DOWN 2-0 IN THE SECOND.

SURRENDERING A GOAL.

AUGIE LEADS 4-ZIP AFTER TWO PERIODS.

13 SECONDS INTO THE THIRD, McCLENNON ABLE TO PUT THE BEAVERS ON THE BOARD, HIS 11th OF THE SEASON GIVES THEM A JOLT BECAUSE A MINUTE LATER, OLIVER PIERRE NETS HIS 09S OF THE YEAR AND THAT BRINGS BEMIDJI STATE WITHIN TWO.

THEY JUST COULDN'T ANY CLOSER.

5-2 THE FINAL.

THEY WERE DOWN ONE GAME TO THE VIKINGS LAST YEAR, AND THEY WON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY TO MOVE ON.

GAME TWO TOMORROW AT 6 P.M.

>>> ALSO, BSU WOMEN'S SOFTBALL PLAYED TODAY AND THEY GOT A SPLIT DOWN IN FLORIDA.

>>> WARROAD BOYS HOCKEY STRUGGLED TO FIND THE NET IN THE FIRST PERIOD OF THEIR CLASS A QUARTERFINAL MATCH ON WEDNESDAY VERSUS NORTHERN LAKES, BUT TWO BIG GOALS IN THE SECOND PERIOD AND THREE IN THE THIRD LIFTED THE WARRIORS TO A 5-0 WIN AND A TRIP TO THE SEMIFINALS AGAINST DELANO.

WARROAD FELL TO THE TIGERS 3-1 IN THEIR FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON.

MAYBE LOOKING FOR SOME REDEMPTION, BUT ONCE AGAIN HAD A POOR FIRST PERIOD.

THEY TRAIL 2-0 HERE IN THE SECOND.

THAT'S WHEN THEY GET A LITTLE PUCK LUCK.

GAVIN ANDERSON OFF THE DEFENDER'S SKATE GIVES THE WARRIORS SOME LIFE, CUTS THE LEAD IN HALF.

THEN JUST 12 SECONDS LATER, MOONEY SHAUGABAY OFF THE BOUNCE FROM THE BOARDS TUCKS IT HOME TO KNOT THE GAME AT 2.

BUT THEY'RE FAR FROM DONE.

LESS THAN A MINUTE AFTER THAT, BRODEN HONTVET TIPS IN THE SHOT FROM ANDERSON.

THREE GOALS IN 88 SECONDS GIVES WARROAD THE 3-2 LEAD.

AHEAD TO THE THIRD, SAME SCORE.

BRADY KANGAS ANSWERS FOR THE TIGERS WITH A POWER PLAY GOAL, AND WE ARE TIED AGAIN.

LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER, RODERICK JACKSON FINDS ANDERSON WHO BURIES IT.

WARROAD TAKES BACK THE LEAD FOR GOOD.

CASEY HENDRICKSON WOULD TALLY A GOAL AND HONTVET WOULD NET A SECOND AS THE WARRIORS MOVE ON TO CLASS A FINALS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2023 WHERE THEY'LL MEET TOP-SEEDED HIBBING-CHISHOLM TOMORROW.

WARROAD WILL BE TRYING FOR THEIR FIRST STATE TITLE SINCE 2005 AND FIFTH OVERALL.

THE PLAYING TODAY MTZ CONSOLATION SEMIFINALS, GRAND RAPIDS BEAT GENTRY ACADEMY AND THEY MOVE ON TO PLAY LAKEVILLE SOUTH.

>>> LIVING ON THE EDGE IS A DANGEROUS PROSPECT, ESPECIALLY IN THE POST-SEASON, BUT LATELY BEMIDJI'S BOYS BASKETBALL HAS MADE A HABIT OF IT, PERHAPS EVEN THRIVING ON IT.

THE LUMBERJACKS HAVE HAD BACK-TO-BACK SLOW STARTS, THE LATTER OF WHICH CAME IN THE SECTION QUARTERFINALS WHEN THEY HAD TO OVERCOME A SECOND HALF DOUBLE-DIGIT DEFICIT TO ADVANCE TO TONIGHT'S SEMIFINAL, WHERE THE JACKS WERE TRYING TO PULL THEMSELVES OUT OF A HOLE ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME AGAINST 3-SEED ELK RIVER.

THE BIGGEST REASON, CHASE SHELDON.

HE CAME OFF THE BENCH FOR THE ELKS AND HAD 18 POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF.

23 TOTAL.

THEY LED 35-26 AT THE BREAK.

IN THE SECOND HALF, BEMIDJI TRYING TO CLOSE THE GAP.

JAXON BOSCHEE LACES THE TREY FOR THREE OF HIS 31 POINTS TONIGHT, BRINGS THEM TO WITHIN 5.

35-30.

LATER, WYATT TVERSTOL USING HIS LENGTH IN THE PAINT PULLS THE JACKS TO WITHIN TWO.

BUT BEMIDJI WOULD ONLY SCORE 2 POINTS OVER THE NEXT SEVEN MINUTES WHILE ELK RIVER PULLED AWAY.

LUMBERJACKS FALL 62-53 TO END THEIR SEASON.

THEY FINISH THE YEAR 19-9.

>>> A COUPLE MORE SCORES FOR YOU.

GRAND RAPIDS, THEY'RE MOVING ON TO THE SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

THEY BEAT CHIS SAG GO LAKE AND THEN IN THE SECTION 8-A CHAMPIONSHIP, NORTH OLM KELLIHER EXACTS REVENGE AND THEY WIN THEIR FIRST EVER SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP IN GIRLS BASKETBALL IN SCHOOL HISTORY.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM.

WE'LL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON THEM AT THE STATE TOURNAMENT.

PINE RIVER BACCHUS, THEY FELL TO BRAME IN THE SECTION 5 CHAMPIONSHIP.

>>> WELL, FINALLY THE MINNESOTA WILD MADE A FLURRY OF DEALS BEFORE TODAY'S TRADE DEADLINE.

FIST THE WILD ACQUIRED CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS CAPTAIN NICK FOLIGNO WHO JOINS HUSBAND BROTHER.

THE OTHER ACQUISITION WAS MINNESOTA NATIVE BOBBY BRINK FROM THE PHILADELPHIA FLYERS.

THE FORWARD GREW UP PLAYING AT MIN NECESSITY TONG CARDIAC BUT ALSO HAS TIES TO BEMIDJI.

HIS FATHER PLAYED IN BEMIDJI AND WENT ON TO PLAY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA.

I THINK YOU CAN SEE THAT'S WHERE HE GOT HIS TALENT FROM.

>> Dennis: YEAH, PLAYING SECOND LINE TONIGHT TOO.

THANK YOU, CHARLIE.

>>> FOR THE FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW, LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR STUDENTS HAVE GATHERED AT BEMIDJI STATE UNIVERSITY FOR A FULL DAY OF LEARNING SINGING TECHNIQUES AND LEARNING FROM COLLEGE PROFESSORS.

OUR REPORTER SYDNEY DICK VISITED AND HAS MORE ON THIS WEEK'S IN-FOCUS REPORT.

♪ [ SINGING ] ♪ >> Sydney: WHEN THE COVID-19 LOCKDOWN HAPPENED, BEMIDJI STATE'S ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF VOICE JENNIFER OLSON SENT OUT A VIDEO SERIES WITH VOCAL TECHNIQUES AND OTHER EXERCISES FOR STUDENTS TO CONTINUE THEIR MUSIC LEARNING AT HOME.

THAT IDEA PROGRESSED INTO BRINGING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO BEMIDJI STATE TO LEARN TOGETHER FOR A FULL DAY.

>> THIS GIVES KIDS THAT MAYBE WOULDN'T BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT A CHANCE TO MAYBE CONNECT UP AND SHINE IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

>> Sydney: THIS IS THE FIFTH YEAR.

>> Stacy: BSU SINGS HAS TAKEN PLACE.

THERE ARE FIVE SCHOOLS THAT COME TOGETHER AND OVER 200 STUDENTS VISITED THIS YEAR.

>> WE DON'T HAVE KIDS THAT GET OUT OF THE TOWN VERY OFTEN, SO THIS GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO GET OUT AND WORK WITH OTHERS AND REALIZE WHAT KIND OF MUSIC CAN BE MADE AS A COLLECTIVE RATHER THAN JUST INDIVIDUALISTIC.

>> I ALWAYS TALK TO MY STUDENTS ABOUT HOW MUSIC IS SUCH A LIFETIME SKILL.

I MEAN, LOTS OF ATHLETES, IT'S A REALITY THAT YOUR BODY DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO KEEP DOING THINGS AT A CERTAIN POINT AND WHERE MUSIC AS LIFETIME.

>> Sydney: ONE-ON-ONE INSTRUCTION WITH COLLEGIATE MUSIC TEACHERS AND VOCAL INSTRUCTORS AND SICK SINGING ALONGSIDE BSU STUDENTS GIVES THE STUDENTS A CHANCE TO SEE WHAT GOES ON IN THE NEXT LEVEL OF MUSIC EDUCATION.

>> I BROUGHT TWO OF MY SENIORS LAST YEAR TO BSU TO CONTINUE IN THEIR UNDERGRAD AS MUSIC MAJORS BECAUSE THEY GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO SING WITH THE COLLEGE STUDENTS.

YOU HAVE KIDS CONSTANTLY GOING, DID YOU HEAR US TODAY?

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

>> AND IT'S OUR JOB TO KEY RIND MASS SHOOTING PEOPLE WHY WE SING AND MAKE MUSIC BECAUSE WE WENT THROUGH A DARK TIME WHERE IT BASICALLY WASN'T ALLOWED AND NOW WE'RE SEEING REGENERATIVE NUMBERS AND KIDS JUST WANTING TO REACH OUT TO EACH OTHER AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS COOL AND THIS IS WHY WE DO IT.

>> Sydney: REPORTING FROM BEMIDJI WITH THIS WEEK'S IN-FOCUS, I'M SYDNEY DICK, LAKELAND NEWS.
