David Fog has been a choral music educator in Iowa for 39 years, including 34 years at Emmetsburg High School where he directed six choral groups. Last fall, he left retirement to return to teaching at North Union High School in Armstrong, IA. The vocal music program at Emmetsburg was named one of fifty “Outstanding Small School Music Programs” in the United States by the Standards and Repertoire Committee of the American Choral Directors Association. In addition to numerous IHSMA state contest honors, the EHS Choral Groups have earned superior ratings and overall championships at festivals in Orlando, Chicago, St. Louis, Washington DC, and Denver during their regional tours. The EHS varsity show choir, “High Voltage” consistently strove to “raise the bar” for small school excellence in show choir competition under Mr. Fog, and performed as Division champions and in overall championships many times. He also has directed all aspects of 19 musicals at EHS and NUHS. Mr. Fog has been a football coach since he began teaching, and was recently named the Class1A Assistant Coach of the year in 2010. He continues to be an active ICDA mentor, clinician and adjudicator for show choir festivals and the IHSMA sponsored state contests.
