5:00 PM to 9:00 PM: Reunion Dinner Program at Riverside Casino (See Riverside Casino article)
A buffet dinner followed by music and a presentation of the Class of 1981 slideshow (upgraded to DVD format!) A cash bar will be available.
After the slideshow, Class of 1981 member Rich Webster, a 2014 inductee into the Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, will be singing and playing keyboards and guitar. He’s bringing an extra microphone so other Class of 1981 members can sing, too. Renditions of songs popular during our high school years are especially encouraged. If you are interested in singing, please contact ichsclass1981@gmail.com and let us know what song you want to sing so we can pass it along to Rich and he can make sure he knows the song and can accompany you. (Rich notes that backing music for some songs is pretty much impossible to recreate with just a guitar or keyboards, so he might have to send you back to the drawing board.)
$75 per person
