Foreigner won’t be so foreign much longer to a group of Solon High School singers. Twenty-five students representing the school’s choral program will join the rock band and the Dave Eggar Orchestra onstage Thursday night (3/29) at the U.S. Cellular Center in downtown Cedar Rapids. They’ll be singing the band’s 1984 mega hit, “I Want to Know What Love Is.” They’ve been practicing and memorizing the chorus in unison and in harmony, so they’ll be ready for whatever the band wants when they rehearse together in the arena Thursday. Solon’s video submission won the popular vote from local radio listeners for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “Surprisingly, the majority of students knew who the band was, and then once you started singing a few of their songs, that really triggered,” said Joel Foreman, Solon’s vocal music director.
