WOW!!! What a weekend!!
To every family who helped make Mid-Iowa Show Choir Championships a success – THANK YOU!!
We are so appreciative of the time, energy and heart you gave to make the weekend such an incredible success. Events like this simply don’t happen without people who are willing to step up, pitch in, and work together – and you did exactly that.
There were nearly 300 adult volunteers working behind the scenes and on the front lines along with our students. From early mornings to late nights through setup to cleanup - your role in welcoming our guests, directors, judges, bus drivers, and performers made all the difference. Because of you, our students were able to shine, our guests felt welcomed, and the entire event ran smoothly from start to finish. We received countless glowing compliments about how friendly and accommodating everyone was and how seamless everything felt.
