Solo & Ensemble Contest

The OMEA Solo & Ensemble contest is for those interested in singing traditional or classical style songs for a certified OMEA judge.  The contest is Saturday, January 23rd at Elder HS and the registration is next week.  The competition is open to any high school singer who is interested in preparing a Solo or group of singers (SSA, TTBB or SATB) interested in an Ensemble.  Please contact Mrs. Purdy for more details and/or to sign-up for this contest.  The music can be challenging but the growth potential for those that participate is great.

Downtown ready for parade & singing for the Christmas Tree Lighting

I'm in Downtown Harrison and the Coffee Peddlar is rockin' as we wait for the Christmas parade to start. Harrison Junior High & High School choirs sing in front of the firehouse after the parade. Choir members can get pizza at the community center after the tree lighting at 7pm. Who needs Whoville? - we have it all right here!

Tree Lighting tomorrow

All HS choirs report by 6:15 (ready to sing) in Harrison Voices t-shirts (warm underlayer recommended) & casual attire.  We sing at 6:30pm and the tree will be lit at 7pm (pizza after at the community center if you want some).
Show Choir - 2 songs + Let it Snow carol with the crowd
Treble Cats- 1 song + Silent Night with the crowd
Concert Choir- 2 songs + Holly Jolly Christmas w/ crowd
PRACTICE!!!  - come prepared to sound great (meaning memorize the words or bring your music)

December Choir Flyer sent home today

Did you remember to take your Choir Flyer home with all of the dates and times for our December performances?

It is also time to start thinking about OMEA Solo & Ensemble contest if you interested. This contest is for serious musicians who like to tackle serious music. If you have a private voice teacher or piano instructor, ask this week about your best performance options. If you do not have a private instructor we will discuss the event and what vocal selections might be best for you during class on December 10th.

Showcase Southwest 2.0

Harrison Voices- Great concert tonight everyone! You did a really nice job adapting to the space and the packed audience. 

Thanks to all of the students who stayed to help tear down the platform stage and return all of the chairs- can you believe that we had 400 chairs in that space and still packed the space to overflowing?! I really appreciate everyone who returned chairs to the JS & HS music rooms so we could all get home before 10 tonight.

Special thanks to Mr. Egan for providing sound for our soloists/speakers & to Mrs. Withrow for making it easy to coordinate a concert together.

Music boosters tonight- Double H meeting on Thursday!!!!

Music Boosters meeting tonight for interested parents: 7pm Wildcat room.  This is a voluntary event.

Not too late to help on Saturday

Any choir students or parents who wish to help out with the big band competition on Saturday can still participate.  Show up at 3pm and we will find some way to put you to work.  Any Concert Choir or Treble Cats members can earn IWAA points (each hour of service = 6 points).  Remember, you need 12 points per quarter.
