The Appleton North High School Varsity Men's Choir is one of six choirs at school. It is comprised of sophomores, juniors, and seniors who share a desire to have fun and make great music. The group meets daily, bringing young men from many different circles into one room, preparing music from all time periods and genres, and sharing their work with the Fox Valley community. They enjoy a full concert season highlighted by an all-city men's choral festival at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center and a holiday concert that draws an audience of over 5,000. They appreciate opportunities to travel and sing throughout the country, but seem to be equally excited about traditions closer to homerunning the halls singing South African freedom songs, "storytime" on Fridays, and eating doughnuts. Choir members have come to value the camaraderie, the fellowship, and the energy created within High School walls when young men come together to laugh, feel, and focus their creative passions towards statements of beauty, power, and joy.

Craig Aamot is enjoying his time as director of choirs at Appleton North High School. He is thankful for the hundreds of young men and women in the program, their gifts, their humor, their curiosity, and their willingness to grow together in music. He is sure he is learning as much as he is teaching. Under his direction, choirs have traveled and performed throughout the Midwest and Europe, including Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the Czech Republic. In addition to directing the choirs, Craig coaches football, working with quarterbacks both locally and nationally as a lecturer and coach. Craig's father Mark is a retired choral director, having spent thirty years at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI and his older brother Kirk is director of choirs at Montana State in Bozeman.
