 Well it took 23 years, but Bemidji High School's Volca Motive Show Choir walked away as grand champions over the weekend. The show choir competed at one of the Midwest's largest show choir competitions. The Onalaska Show Choir Classic hosted 15 different show choirs from around the region where each group performed their competition show. And so it was fun to stand in the hallway there with my own two kids in the program and actually have got the grand champ there. So it's a great feeling. According to competition judges, one member stood out of Bemidji's group and they awarded him special recognition. Senior Alec White was chosen as the showstopper award winner for his talents playing the harmonica during the routine. Honestly I think there's a lot of other people out there that deserve it more than me because it's my first year and it's supposed cool as a harmonica is there's a lot of people that put a lot more time, a lot more effort into this program than I ever have. Besides the grand champion win and the showstopper award, Volca Motive also won Best Choreography.
