Introduction:

The Logansport Children's Choir, a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit corporation, was founded in October 1988. Selection is made by auditions, which are open to third, fourth, and fifth grade students from all public and private schools in Logansport, Indiana and surrounding areas. Those selected are encouraged to stay through middle school, and, in our Chamber Choir, into high school.

History:

The choir has performed, in addition to local concerts, for the Indiana Music Educators Association (three times), the Indiana Elementary Music Educators Association, the Central Division of the American Choral Directors Association, for the National Convention of the Psi Iota Xi sorority, and for the Midwest Kodaly Music Educators Association.
