SWAL Honors Choir - January 24th & 26th - grades 9-12
The SWAL Conference Honors Festivals are held annually in January at one of the participating schools. Students are nominated by their director. Students are required to attend the rehearsal on the Thursday previous to the Saturday concert. On Thursday, you will work with area directors either in the large group or sectional format. Saturday is reserved for working with the guest conductor. The day ends with a concert held at 4:30 in the hosting school.
This year's Honors Choir will be held at Iowa-Grant High School. Our guest conductor will be Dr. Robert Gehrenbeck from UW-Whitewater.
