Jazz choir Shake the Lakes 2025

Written by Maci Mallory 

The AHS class 3A jazz choir students performed an outstanding performance at the Shake the Lakes event in Spirit Lake on Friday, February 21, where they competed against 30 different jazz groups. Congratulations to the AHS Scarlet Midnight as they received first place as a team! As an AHS junior, Natalee Reemtsma reflects back on this experience and says, “Choir is a great way to challenge yourself and have fun. It’s a great place where diverse people work together and create music.” 

Looking forward, the AHS choir will perform again on March 8th at the Emmetsburg Extravaganza at 9:15 am; they will compete against 15 teams. Good luck to all performers!

AHS sophomore, Catherine Hart, says, “It’s so fun being in jazz choir. I love it every morning.”

Another great night for a performance of the AHS jazz choir will be on March 13th. The chorus will perform at home in the Wilcox Performing Arts Center at 7:00 pm. Be sure to come support the local jazz choir students.
