🌟Southeast Polk’s varsity show choir, RAMification, has had a stellar season, consistently making finals and finishing second place in their last two competitions. Their 2025 show, Follow Your Star, brings an inspiring story to the stage, celebrating the achievements of Cecilia Payne, the ...pioneering astronomer who discovered the composition of stars. 🌠
🎼Under the direction of Jamie Logan, SEP’s high school vocal music teacher, and assisted by SEP RAMification alums Melina Murrane and Madison Becthold (who also serves as the Willowbrook vocal music teacher), the group has captivated audiences with their dynamic storytelling and powerful performances. 🎵
The #1SEP students’ hard work, artistry, and commitment have made this season one to remember, and Southeast Polk is proud to celebrate their success. 🙌Congratulations, RAMification, on an incredible season! 🖤💛
