Wesley Carlson Auditorium at the Humboldt High School. Show times are Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 1 and 2 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for children ages 17 and under and can be purchased at Humboldt Hy-Vee, V&S Variety in downtown Humboldt, from chorus members, online at www.humboldtchorus.com or by calling 515-379-1072.

Selections this year will include “Steppin’ Out with my Baby/Puttin’ on the Ritz,” “Sing, Sing, Sing” and “Don’t Stop Me Now” and a fun medley of 50’s and 60’s songs called “A Rock n’ Roll Hit Parade.” The always popular gospel and patriotic songs include “Shine, Jesus, Shine,” “If I Have My Ticket,” “10,000 Reasons,” “A Mighty Fortress,” “Because of the Brave,” “This is the Dream” and a medley of patriotic favorites. The women will perform “Girls Just Wanna Dance,” the men will sing “My Girl” and various small groups will be adding light-hearted songs and comedy numbers throughout the production.

Our 20-piece Humboldt Big Band will accompany all of the chorus pieces as well as play 30 minutes before each show and during intermission. The chorus and band pride themselves on providing a very high energy show with something for everyone.
