The concert is a special concert, as ALHS celebrates leaping into March, which has been designated as Music in Our Schools Month by the National Association for Music Education. This year’s theme is “Music Connects Us.”

Students will perform all styles of music and demonstrate things they have learned in class throughout the concert.

About 50 members of the different choirs participated in the solo and ensemble contest Jan. 20 at Lakeville High School. The celebr8 and Tiger choir students will travel to Chanhassen Dinner Theatre to see a professional production of “Newsies.”

The varsity choir went to the Ordway to see a production from Minnesota Opera and members of the concert choir will depart for a short choral tour to Minneapolis in April.
