This event is nearly full for 2024. We have space for one more show choir on Saturday, February 17. Nice and reasonably priced off season accommodations are available at area church camps on Lake Okoboji. Indoor waterpark hotel also available. We're a great choir road trip from SD, NE, MN or WI. Come be part of the most fun event of the season in Northwest Iowa.

This is awesome to hear! I am glad that this competition has had such a great upbringing and continues to be something students and directors look forward to attending each year!

Year 5 and we keep growing! Over 1600 attendees this year (not counting performers), and almost 100,000 social media impressions. We are fortunate to have had just the right team of directors, parents, and students to really make a good go of it.
