Five Washington Middle School students have been selected for the 35th annual Opus Honor Choir Festival.

Over 2,100 students were nominated by their directors for 720 positions in the four Opus Honor Choirs. Students were then selected by means of a recorded audition. Sixth and seventh graders representing Washington are baritone Tyler Burroughs, and altos Johannah Halvorson, Emma Alderton, Lauren Drahota, and Mitchell Zieglowsky. The 2021 Opus Honor Choirs will perform at 4 p.m., November 18th at CY Stephens Auditorium in Ames. The festival is made possible by the Iowa Choral Directors Association, Inc.
