Evening at Pops
By Joseph Schany - | Apr 20, 2021
On Saturday night, I had the privilege of attending Emmetsburg High School’s 2021 Pops Concert and I was very impressed with the talent on display all throughout the evening. This group of students has endured a number of obstacles over the past year due to the limitations placed on their lives by COVID-19, and it was great to see them all come together to put on such a spectacular show.

From the many years I’ve spent attending the annual performances, through my own years on the stage and in front of the microphone, I’ve always felt Pops to be the one event to define the Emmetsburg music program each year. The diverse array of content and entertainment showcased in its 2.5 hour (or in some years, up to 4 hour!) run-time is a direct indication of the talent and skill of not only the musicians on stage, but of the administration, crew, and everyone else behind the scenes working to bring the performance to life.
