The cost of the buffet is $14.99 plus the cost of your drinks and gratuity.

Saying Good-Bye

Duane Scott has decided to move back to the Philly area. He has been a stellar member of the chorus and quartets he has been involved in. He will be missed, along with his humor. We wish Duane well in this new endeavor.

Singing Valentines

It is time to form quartets to deliver Singing Valentines. With Duane’s departure, we will not have his quartet to help. It would be great to have two quartets. If you are interested in being in one of the SV quartets, please let Larry H know. Darrel Herschberger has agreed to coordinate Singing Valentines for us again this year. Thank you, Darrel!

December Homework:

Please work on songs that we may use on our Spring Show. 

  • “California Dreaming”
  • “Shenandoah”
  • “Country Roads”
  • “King of the Road”

Quartet Opportunity:

I am looking to have a quartet sing “Holy Highway” on the Spring Show. The chart is on our website at https://harmonyhawks.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Holy_highway_m-_jorg_210609.pdf. Check out the Gaither Vocal Band for their rendition at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsrpSM2Fz-s.
