BIO

Holmen High School's Midwest Express is always up for a spooky game of ghost in the graveyard...the catch is, they picked the wrong cemetery to break into! Comprised of 35 singers, 5 crew members, and 17 Legacy show band members, this group of students takes us back to the late '90s with an homage to the beloved TV show, Are You Afraid of the Dark? Come along as Caretaker Jenkins catches our group of hoodlums breaking into the cemetery and shares all the stories of the strange things that go bump in the night. Our brave kids convince themselves they can outlast the spooks but in the end, they might not be as courageous as they think they are! 

Midwest Express kicked off its competition season this year by hosting Holmen’s Gathering 2025 on January 3rd and 4th. Competing at Onalaska (WI), Sauk Prairie (WI), Sparta (WI), Fort Atkinson (WI), Hastings (MN), and Western Dubuque (IA), Midwest Express is very excited to be performing for you today! They would like to thank their families, friends, alumni, and amazing fans for their unwavering love and support and wish to send a special thank you to their dedicated parent group, the HSCPO. Good luck to all groups performing today! We hope you enjoy the show: Are You Afraid of the Dark?
