Participate in NEIC Music Festival …

Monday, January 9, 22 students from Waukon High School attended the Northeast Iowa Conference Music Festival hosted by Charles City High School. The students rehearsed all day and presented a concert that evening. Former Waukon teacher and Allamakee County native Larry Wolfe, now the assistant principal at Charles City High School, commented that it was nice for the students from all the Northeast Iowa Conference schools to get together to create something beautiful instead of competing on the court, field or course. The students from Waukon High School who attended the festival included members of the Waukon High School Band (pictured in top photo) and the Waukon High School Choir (pictured in lower photo).
