While they may be celebrating the music of the holiday season now, the Pella High School choir program is gearing up for competition after the new year. Pella’s AcaPella and Bravo show choirs will hit the circuit of shows across the state starting in mid-January after rehearsing since late this summer. After COVID-19 limited last season’s performances, the high school varsity performers will return to a full slate of competitions in Benton, Mt. Pleasant, and DCG, compete in the annual state contest, and wrap up the season by hosting the annual two-day Dutch Masters’ Invitational.
