2022 Wawasee High School graduate Devin Van Lue was back home in Syracuse Friday evening as a member of the Ball State University Singers.

SYRACUSE — Wawasee High School’s auditorium was jumping, jiving and wailing Friday evening as Chautauqua-Wawasee welcomed the Ball State University Singers to Syracuse (click to see performance video). The show choir featured around two dozen talented performers on stage for a 90-minute performance filled with rousing show tunes, soulful ballads and popular numbers straight from recent top-40 charts.

The show also provided a homecoming of sorts for 2022 WHS graduate Devin Van Lue (click to see solo video link), who was one of several freshman members of the troupe, which also includes singers and band members hailing from Warsaw, New Paris, Goshen and Columbia City.

The house was filled with well-wishers who offered rousing applause for their favorite local performers. Van Lue performed a solo singing number on the same stage which he graced in various performing arts roles during his prep years.

This is the 59th edition of the Ball State University Singers.
