Fifteen Decorah High School (DHS) students have been selected to perform at the Iowa All-State Music Festival.
Selections were made Oct. 21 at Independence High School. DHS was represented by 50 students participating in the auditions.
Directors said the students prepared difficult musical selections and then competed for spots in the All-State ensembles with students from East Central and Northeast Iowa, including Dubuque and Cedar Rapids area schools.
The 15 Decorah students selected as members of the 2023 ensembles include: Lucas Arendt, viola; Aitor Cuevas, trumpet; Connor Evelsizer, tenor voice; Gabriel Hiner, bass voice; Liam Huang, violin; Andy Kruger, tenor voice; Naomi Kutz, violin; Simon Kutz, cello; Alex McGohan, percussion; Lauren Severtson, violin; Ezra Vorvick, string bass; and Grant Zilka, baritone saxophone (alternate)
The concert will be broadcast on Iowa PBS on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 23 at 7 p.m.
