Concert Choir Performs at Indiana State Capital
Congratulations to Concert Choir on their wonderful performance at the Indiana State Capitol on December 6. The choir was one of five choral groups from the state that sang and danced for Governor Pence’s “Christmas at the Capitol.” The 4 high school choirs also performed at the Optimist Club Christmas party, OFS Christmas luncheon and at their annual Christmas Concert.
A very talented cast has been chosen for the annual school musical, “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” This comical show will be presented to the public on February 26, 27 and 28 in the Southridge auditorium.
Solo and ensemble contest will take place at Southridge on Saturday, Feb. 7. Choir parents who volunteered to help that day will receive a work schedule in early January.

Musical Cast - "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying!"
Southridge will be performing How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying for the spring musical on Feb 20-22. “A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, the play follows the rise of J. Perrrpont Finch, who uses a little handbook called ‘How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying’ to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive, tackling such familiar but potent dangers as the aggressively compliant ‘company man,’ the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love. “ It has a large cast featuring many roles with all types of players. Mrs. Weil and Mr. Younker thank all those who took the time to memorize songs and monologues. The cast includes:
Finch – Mitch Steinkamp
Rosemary – Katie Kendall
Biggley – Mateo Nino
Frump – Jonathan Breckler
Hedy – Barb Moss
Jones – Megan Diekhoff

Students Enjoy Concert by Christian Recording Artist PJ ANDERSON
FCA Officers Henry Steckler, Maddie Neu, and Corbin Neu along with Club Sponsor Shawn Schaefer pose with musical artist PJ Anderson on November 18.
A great crowd of students and teachers voluntarily came to see and hear PJ Anderson perform. PJ has been a YouTube sensation and had performed the previous night at a church in Jasper.
The FCA at Southridge is an active and growing group. They meet once a month on the first Monday in a large group and another time for small group discussion and prayer.
The musical artist was quite a pro, getting the audience up on their feet, clapping and participating, despite the early hour. Everyone agreed it was a fun way to start the day.
