Et cetera : VSHS choir sends four to Luther College Dorian Festival

These four VSHS singers represented their choir in the Dorian Festival at Luther.

This year, four Vinton-Shellsburg High School choir students were selected for the Luther College Dorian Festival. Pictured, from left: Beth Sauer (12), Nick Gardner (12), Jacob Bunge (11) and Alyssa Cantrell (11), traveled to Luther College in Decorah on January 13-14.

They joined 1,200 other singers from across Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and South Dakota to form the largest select honor choir in the country. Also, Alyssa Cantrell and Jacob Bunge competed in the solo competition hosted in conjunction with the festival. The festival concluded with a concert featuring the Festival Chorus, the Chamber Chorus, the 5 scholarship winners, and the Luther College Nordic Choir. Congratulations to these four students on their acceptance into this festival and their representation of Vinton-Shellsburg.
