Iowa Lakes Jazz & Show Choir Festival

Performances will take place in our brand-new Performing Arts Center!

When your choir arrives, they should enter the main building on the west side through the College’s main entrance (Entrance #1). Iowa Lakes’ students will greet you and take you to your homeroom. Because schools share the homerooms, students will need to take responsibility for their valuables. Please be patient and quiet as we are holding classes. 

After unloading, buses may park on 18th Street or in the parking lot east of campus. Please encourage students to check out our Student Center and Dining Services, where they can eat lunch, get snack food, and relax.

Show choirs will warm up in room 60, which is a 45’ x 40’ area with mirrors. When it is your performance time, guides will take you to the performance area. You will have 40 minutes to set up, perform, and receive the on-stage clinic. During your free time, you are invited to watch the other choirs perform - a very educational part of the day. 

The performance area is a 30’ x 50’ stage.  For Show Choirs, four levels of 4’ x 8’ platform risers will be on stage, as well as five corded microphones, two wireless microphones, 30 music stands, and a grand piano.  Jazz Choirs can use 20 microphones, 30 music stands, and a grand piano.  Jazz Choirs may bring their own sound technician.

Performances will be webcast and can be viewed online any time at www.iowalakesathletics.com/webcast. The judges will provide audio comments. 

Please fill out the selection and soloist form below. This form needs to be submitted by January 19th. Also, please bring a set of your music for the clinician.

I look forward to talking with you and watching your choirs perform at the festival.  If you have any questions or if there is anything I can do for you, please call or text my cell number at 712-330-1145.
