About this listen
🎙️ Healthy Living with Yoga Anita – Community Spotlight!
This week I interviewed Arthur Pierce, Choir Director at Leominster High School and founder of the award-winning show choir, Ignition. Arthur began teaching locally in 2000 at St. Leo School and St. Anna School before joining Leominster Public Schools. After attending Show Choir Camps of America in Ohio, he launched Ignition—now in its third year and already earning top honors, including a recent bronze medal! 🏆
We were joined by student song captains Miriam Rosenbaum and Dusk Costa, who shared how they prepare, collaborate, and grow from judges’ feedback. Students even help inspire themes—last year featured Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and this year’s powerful show is Fallout, set in a dystopian future.
Arthur also created the Flamingo Show Choir Festival, celebrating Leominster’s landmark and bringing talented performers together. Choreography support comes from Julie Boyd, Zach Moore and Heather Mahan.
🎟️ Don’t miss the Flamingo Festival on March 7th!
