(Spirit Lake)--The Spirit of Harmony has earned the opportunity to compete at the 79th Annual SingUnited International Convention and Competition, October 25–30, 2027 in Seattle, Washington.

Directed by Judy Weipert of Spirit Lake, the chorus earned its place in Seattle by winning the 2026 Northern Lights Region 6 overall chorus championship. The singers also won first place in the Division A small chorus competition and received the Most Improved award.

The Kinnetz family has donated $4,000 to help offset participation costs for members making the trip.
