A handful of Minnewaska choir students in grades 9 and 10 auditioned for the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) of Minnesota’s State Honor Choir. Over 2,000 students from around the state audition for the group of 300 singers, which is held February 15 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Students will spend the day with a guest conductor and students from around the state, culminating in a final evening concert. This year, three Minnewaska students were accepted: Eddie Van der Hagen, Riley Spindler and Caleb Ashler. Auditions were conducted by ACDA-MN member and Minnewaska Choir Director, Jeff Iverson.
