This year will mark the 35th year of the Opus Honor Choir Festival. The festival will be held at CY Stephens in Ames, Iowa, on November 18, 2021. Over 2100 students throughout Iowa in grades 5-9 audition for one of four select honor choirs. The choirs consist of 5th and 6th Grade Honor Choir, 7th and 8th Grade Treble Clef Honor Choir, 7th and 8th Grade Bass Clef Honor Choir, and 9th Grade Mixed Honor Choir. It is truly a prestigious honor to be chosen to sing in one of these groups.
Norway Intermediate School had 11 students who practiced and prepared a recorded audition. This took commitment, dedication, loss of recess time, and lots of singing! It was my pleasure to work with these young singers! Thank you for your hard work! They will be featured in this years’ Norway Intermediate Winter Concert on December 9, 2021.
Benton Community School will be represented in Ames by three talented singers. Congratulations to Paige Eastman, Joel Hacker, and Ian Sadler for their acceptance into the 5th and 6th Grade Opus Honor Choir!
