Iola Middle School students will be raising their voice in song Saturday at the 40th annual Elementary and Middle School Music Festival at Fort Scott Community College.
“We are sending two choirs and 22 soloists who will perform for a judge,” said music instructor Greta Adams. A total of 65 students will depart the Bowlus Fine Arts center Saturday morning for the day-long competition.
The middle schools’ seventh and eighth graders comprise one choir, while 15 sixth graders make up the other. The soloists also sing in the upper level choir. There are no sixth grade soloists, Adams said.
Because the group form IMS is so large, “We basically take up one room for a couple hours” and sing before the judges, Adams said. The IMS students begin singing at 10:30 a.m. Surrounding schools will compete in the afternoon. There will be 36 schools represented at the festival.
Students singing a solo include:
Mason Coons, Abriana Schubert, Scout Henry, Mickey Ingle, Audrea Stahl, Katie Thompson, Lydia Shirley, Michaela French, Brittany Porter, Chalene Hutton, Libby Shay, Essence Owens, Reagan Ford , Chanel Coyne, Keli Lee, Mason Helman, Tessa Rowe, Jordan Strickler, Tori Snavely, Thomas Haley, Daniel Michaels and Shane Stuart.
