This year students from the choirs at ALHS have participated in choral festivals, chorale, caroliers, show choir, the solo and ensemble contest, Choral Arts Finale Festival, Big Nine Music Festival, All-State, trips to Nashville and Memphis, Chanhassen Dinner Theater and Minnesota Opera, and performed for community events.

In addition to the concert, the art department will showcase some student artwork in the commons. Concert attendees will have the opportunity to view a prairie plant garden outside the commons area.

Dustin Demmer, a past ALHS graduate, owns Blazing Star Gardens, and visited drawing b classes, where he introduced landscape design and botanical illustration. Students then created a sketch and researched prairie plants to create a drawing for the project. This was made possible by a grant through Southeaster Minnesota Arts Council.

Admission to the concert is $7 for adults and $5 for seniors and students. Music concert passes are also valid for this concert. Tickets are available at the door and doors will open at 6  p.m. One ticket will gain admittance to both concerts.
