oh my how the time flys! IC this year was incredible. If somebody asked me what IC is like i could only tell them positive things about it and it would take a really long time to explain what an AMAZING experience it was. When your in IC you become like a little family almost. Even though everyone isnt best friends with each other, we each share a special bond that nobody else has. I would do anything for anyone that was in IC this year and i hope they would do the same for me. This morning was sort of bittersweet. I dont know about anyone else but im glad i dont have to wake up early every other day. But it was really really sad because we have been working on all our songs and dances for the past 8 months and now its over. the fact that all of us will never be in the same showchoir together again is sad too. you can bet i was crying this morning

Thank you Mr. J for helping us achieve our two 1st place wins and our 2nd place win. This has been an amazing, outstanding, terrific memory i will NEVER forget. goodluck to all the 8th graders trying out for IC and to everyone trying out for the high school show choirs. Thank you everyone in IC for making this year fabulous! =)

This was an awesome year. I love you guys and will miss you guys so much. We have all become so close, most of you I wouldn't have known as well as I do if it wasn't for this. It doesn't matter what places we got at all, all that matters is how awesome we knew we did. We had an awesome year! And I will never forget it! Thank you so much, Mr. Joseph, for leading us in a such an awesome season.

Mr. Joseph
Internal Combustion, words cannot describe what you have helped me experience this year.  I hope I have taught you many things that you can take with you in your high school years.  You have definitely taught me and made me a better teacher, both as a show choir director and as a human being.  3rd place is a FANTASTIC achievement, but to me, it pales in comparison to what we have shared with each other and experienced together as a very close group.  You have inspired me to be a better teacher and I cannot thank you enough.  I love you very much and thank you!

Mrs. Martin

CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. Joseph and his IC students for a FABULOUS WIN at the Waukee Competition!!  As a chaperone for IC this year(and a very proud parent :), I must say that your performance at Waukee was the highlight of the show choir season for me.  IC, you are the CHAMPIONS!  You are all amazing and very talented!  Best of luck to you at the High School show choir level next year.  I look forward to watching you perform in the years ahead.  I am so proud of every one of you!!  ~Mrs. Martin

Wow!  Our site is finally up!  I've wanted to have a site like this for the Northview Vocal Music department since I started my job here in Ankeny.  I'm very happy with how it turned out but I'm always looking for ways to improve it.  If you have any comments, please sign our guestbook and let us know what you think!
