CHOIR DIRECTORS
Leah Trigg, Director of Avon Choirs, [email protected]
Mrs. Trigg has been teaching at Avon High School for 10 years. Prior to this teaching assignment, she was the director of choral music at Shelbyville High School, Homestead High School, Ben Davis High School, and the Lynhurst 7th and 8th Grade Center. While directing high school choirs, her groups were constantly state finalists in both concert and show choir. They have won grand championships and caption awards at several different competitions.
At Avon High School, Mrs. Trigg co-directs all six choirs in the growing choral program. She loves seeing all the students start as freshmen and develop into outstanding musicians by the time they leave AHS. The past two years, the Avon Accents, the mixed show choir, have been the ISSMA State Show Choir Champions with their famous “Olympics” and “Sign, Sealed, and Delivered” shows. In 2018 she co-directed the Avon “Allegros,” the 2018 ISSMA State Unisex Concert Choir Grand Champions. From 2018-2026, the Accents and Chamber Singers were also ISSMA State Concert Choir Finalists, last year placing 5th in the state. Last year, our outstanding women’s show choir, the Attraction, were the ISSMA State Show Choir Runners-Up, and also an ISSMA State Concert Finalists. She credits the choir department’s successes to the collaboration with Mr. Stainbrook, and all of the Avon parents, community, and volunteers who support the choir program.
From 2007-2016 she served as the Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA) show choir site coordinator, which involved training judges and overseeing several Indiana show choir competitions. She is the Past President of the Indiana University Marching Hundred Alumni Association Board of Directors, where she received the Newell Long Service Award. As her children have gotten older, she has had more time to volunteer, so she has been a music director with Hendricks Civic Theater for the past three summers. She received her bachelor’s degree in music education from the Indiana University Jacob’s School of Music, her master’s degree in secondary education from Indiana University-Ft. Wayne and then completed her administrative license from Indiana University-Indianapolis. She is a member of Plainfield Christian Church resides in Monrovia, Indiana, with her husband, Jason, and their three talented children.
