This year, the Pride of Iowa Honor Choir was hosted by East Union. Students from various schools in the conference gathered to work with a guest director and perform in a concert at the end of the day. The music pieces were selected ahead of time, allowing students to learn them before attending the honor choir event. Upon arrival, students were assigned to their sections and began rehearsing the songs. They worked both as a full group and in smaller sectionals to refine their parts.

The guest director for the event was Mr. Taylor Mayne, a graduate of East Union. He currently serves on the voice faculty at Grinnell College as an Applied Music Associate and is a teaching artist at Drake University. Mr. Mayne did an excellent job of adding final touches to the songs while keeping the atmosphere fun and engaging for the students.

In addition to the choir rehearsals, a jazz group from Southwestern Community College (SWCC) performed for the students and gave a fantastic performance. The Pride of Iowa Honor Choir concluded the event with a performance of the five songs they had learned. Our Central Decatur students represented our school exceptionally well at the POI Honor Choir.
