Kyle Barker, associate director and leader of Ambassadors, talks about Ambassadors’ busy schedule with associate director, Kathrine Kouns (unseen). Barker talked about the upcoming ISSMA competition.

For the next two weeks, the Ambassadors will be very busy as they finalize their set for a state wide competition known as ISSMA on April 28, according to Kyle Barker, associate director and leader of Ambassadors.

According to Barker, as fourth quarter continues, the Ambassadors are staying occupied getting ready for a new set of competitions. Unlike the previous competitions, these are all choral competitions, which means the Ambassadors get a change of pace not having to dance at the competitions.

Barker said, “We are getting ready for ISSMA. We have state qualifications this week and if we’re lucky we’ll get to state finals and that’s the following week.”

The students appear to be excited for this change in literature according to Laney McNamar, member of the Ambassadors’ leadership team and junior.

McNamar said, “We have focused most of the year on show choir so this is a way for us to really dive into concert choir literature.”  By: Emily Carlisle
