Roland-Story Choirs Showcase Talent in Successful First Vocal Concert

By Ryan F.

On Tuesday, October 14th, Roland-Story choirs had their first vocal concert of the year, directed by Landon Stalzer. This concert featured our bass choir, treble choir, mixed choir, Thors Men, and Valkyries. Our choir worked very hard leading up to this concert, and it went very well.

We had the pleasure of getting to work with two prestigious choir conductors, Allen and Dennis, and they were a huge help in getting our choirs ready for our performance. Our mixed choir sang three songs: Insanae et vanae curae, I am Glad, and Yotin. Our bass choir sang two songs, Bonse Aba and Beatti. Our Thors Men sang When the Earth Stands Still and our Valkyries sang Golden Hour. A few of these songs featured soloists; for example, in Bonse Aba, our bass choir had two soloists featured, Levi Britten and Alex Watson. Lucy Schmidt was our soloist in the song Yotin, and Jenna Birkland was our soloist in the song I am Glad. Our accompanist for this concert was Laurel Mizerak, who took over the spot of our former accompanist, Amanda Jennings. 

This first concert was a great way to start the year, and it was a huge success. Our next concert will be on December 15th in the High School auditorium. This next concert will feature some new groups, such as our chamber choir and the band. Our Christmas concert is one of our biggest ones of the year, and the choir is really looking forward to it.

Back in the Swing of Things: The Return of Roland-Story’s Jazz Band

By Mason S. The Roland-Story Jazz Band is gearing up for a year of swinging songs, soulful solos, and jaw-dropping performances. After placing 3rd last year at the Iowa Jazz Championships, this year's band has big shoes to fill, especially to keep the rich musical tradition alive and prove that they are one of the top ensembles in the entire state. Students have been working hard to perfect their musical selections, from big-band Jazz Standards to modern funk hits. Lead trombone player Bradey Haberl said, “I think this year's music is some of the best I’ve ever played. It's definitely my favorite by far, but it is also by far the most difficult music we have ever played. This increased difficulty in music is not without reason. The rhythm section currently comprises all returning players: Aubrey Britten on bass, Cael Vermeer on piano, Mason Schnurstein on guitar, with Ella Murphy and Eli Van Hove both on percussion. The rhythm section is the glue that keeps the band togethe...

The Road to State

By Kelsey J. We had been preparing for this one day for months. State came and went for the Roland-Story Jazz band. But it was the preparation leading up to it that mattered the most. The Roland-Story Jazz Band was set to compete on April 8th at 2:45 pm. The two weeks leading up to it were very stressful and filled with tons of practice. Between sectionals, full band practices, and clinics we were booked tight.  To be able to become better, you have to seek the help of the very best along the way. The Roland-Story Jazz band’s first clinic was with Bob Neunier. He came and listened to the band on March 31st. Bob is the Professor of Percussion & Director of Bands at Drake University, where he is the conductor of the wind symphony and director of percussion studies. The kids brought him in to help give tips and advice to the band. With his elite skill set, he helped to lock in the rhythm with the rest of the band. He gave new ideas and insights on how we could take our band from g...

A Night of Jazz

By Brynn A. Nerves ran high and singers belted their hearts out under the stage lights as the Roland-Story Jazz Choir took to Dallas Center-Grimes High School to compete in the 2025 State Vocal Jazz Championships. Held on April 1, the competition is designed to showcase the very best vocal jazz ensembles that the state has to offer, with the competition in the 2A division better than it has ever been. After winning the championship the previous four years, pressure weighed down the shoulders of every performer in the group, but none of them faltered.  Roland-Story Vocal Jazz consists of 16 singers, as well as piano, percussion, and bass players. This year, our group was led by eight seniors, all of whom gave their everything to this ensemble in the last several months! Succeeding in the ensemble requires dedication to early Wednesday practices, as well as commitment to working during seminar and choir periods. There are typically only two people per part performing very difficult s...
