Southridge Choir
The Huntingburg Christmas Stroll took place on November 7, 8 and 9 and several SHS choir students helped promote the Christmas spirit by caroling up and down Fourth Street. It was fun for all involved!
Choir students will be traveling to the Kentucky Center for the Arts in Louisville on Thursday, November 20 to see the musical “Newsies.” Prior to the show they will enjoy an Italian dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory.
Our annual school musical will be “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying.” All SHS students are invited to audition for a part in the show! See Mrs. Weil for a copy of an audition song and Mr. Younker for an audition monologue. Auditions will be held on November 24 and 25 after school.
The Southridge choir students have a very busy schedule lined up over the next few weeks. They will perform sacred music at the upcoming R.I.A.L. community service at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on Sunday, November 23 at 7:00 p.m. During the first week in December Concert Choir members will sing at the Optimist Club’s Christmas Party on December 4, then ALL choirs will entertain OFS employees at their annual Christmas Luncheon at The Event Center on December 5. On Saturday, December 6, Concert Choir will travel to Indianapolis to sing at the “Christmas at the Capitol” event hosted by Governor Pence and his wife, Karen. Concert Choir is one of only a few choirs chosen to sing at this function. We will end our holiday performances with our annual Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 7 at 3:00 p.m. in the Southridge auditorium. We hope to see you at any of these performances where admission is FREE!
RAIDER BAND
The Marching Raider Band show, “Once Upon A Wicked Time”, made for one
WICKED marching season! We earned many awards for Music, Visual, Effect,
Percussion, Color Guard, Drum Major and various other honors. Although, we didn’t get
back to State Finals- we certainly gave it our best. Our story ended at the ISSMA Class
C Semi-State Finals on November 1 in Indianapolis. The season was filled with strong
performances, great memories, and a wicked sense of accomplishment. Congratulations
to everyone in the band on an excellent marching season. A special thanks to our
incredible 19 senior band members!
