The OABCIG High School Music Department’s 2025 Holiday Concert took place on Monday, Dec. 15, at the high school auditorium.
The Jazz Combo, Jazz I, Concert Band, and Concert Choir performed a selection of songs.
The instrumental music students were directed by David Kovarna; vocal music students were directed by Emmett White.

Colin Ryan took over the Ida County Engineer job on Oct. 11, following the retirement of his predecessor, Jeff Williams.
Ryan, who lives in Holstein with his wife and two daughters, said he is satisfied with how his first months have gone.
“It’s been a bit of an adventure with our early snow this fall, honestly, but things have been going pretty well,” he said.
Ryan grew up just outside of Webster City, where he graduated from high school in 2011.
