• The Barbara Bachert Scholarship

  In 1987-88 the choir established a scholarship in the name of Barbara Bachert,  one of the choir’s most generous benefactors.  The scholarship is given annually to a Coshocton County high school senior, or a current/former Community Choir member to enable further musical study.  Bachert scholarships have been presented in honor of retired area music teachers in appreciation of their contributions to the cultural life of our county.
