HUMBOLDT — The Humboldt Community Chorus, directed by Terry Nelson, will present their annual variety show, “It’s A Celebration,” on Jan. 30 to Feb. 1 at the R. Wesley Carlson Auditorium at the Humboldt High School. Show times are 7 p.m. on Jan. 30, 2 p.m. on Jan. 31 2 p.m. on Feb. 1. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children under 18 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 515-890-0987.

Selections this year will include “Celebration,” “Reach Out I’ll Be There,” “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and “Don’t Stop Me Now” and a great medley of favorite songs from the famous groups Chicago and Styx. The always popular gospel section features “Shout to the Lord,” “I Saw the Light,” “Crown Him,” “The King is Coming” and a contemporary version of “The Lord’s Prayer.” The women will perform “With Love From Motown,” the men will sing “Surfin’ USA” and various small groups will be adding light-hearted songs and comedy numbers throughout the production.

We will close the show with patriotic selections commemorating the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and celebrating our 250th birthday as a nation. Those songs include “You’re a Grand Old Flag,” “On This Day,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “The Stars and Stripes Forever.”

The group is accompanied by Carolyn Shugar-Ford and our 20-piece Humboldt Big Band. The band also plays 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.
