Garrett High Schoolâs Encore! choir won the peopleâs choice trophy.
âWe were excited and blessed to provide a safe performance opportunity for these choirs,â said Joshua Doubblestein, DeKalbâs choir director.
âUnique to this year was the option for choirs to compete virtually by submitting a video of their performance. Choirs from South Dakota, Nebraska and Indiana competed in virtual divisions throughout the day in addition to our traditional in-person performances,â he said.
âThis year the DeKalb Choir Festival again offered a non-competitive concert choir division with the opportunity to work with maestro Robert Nance of Fort Wayneâs Heartland Sings!â he added.
