The South Harrison Vocal Music Department, under the direction of Ms. Kierra Shelby, is embracing the holiday season with a full schedule of events that highlight the talent and dedication of its middle school and high school choirs.
Caroling in the Community
The High School Choir kicked off the festive season by caroling at the United Methodist Church on December 3rd during their Holiday Luncheon. On December 7th, several members of the Vocal Music Department performed holiday carols at the annual Christmas in the Park, bringing joy and music to our community celebration.
Later in the month, on December 17th and 19th, both the Middle School and High School choirs will spread holiday cheer by visiting local businesses and organizations in Bethany. Their caroling tour will include stops at the Courthouse, Bethany Health Services and Dialysis, Shelby Printing, The Sheltered Workshop, Crestview, BTC Bank, and Kids Town Daycare, among others.
Middle School Choir Concert
The Middle School Choir will showcase their hard work on December 9th at 6 PM. Each grade level will perform two fully memorized pieces. Ms. Shelby has been focusing on enhancing the students’ dynamics and stage presence, and she is confident in their ability to deliver a fantastic performance.
“These students have worked incredibly hard this semester to get where they are at, and I couldn’t be more proud of them!” Shelby shared.
High School Choir Concert
Immediately following, at 7 PM on December 9th, the High School Choir will take the stage. Their program features six memorized pieces, ranging from slow, harmony-rich compositions to upbeat, energetic selections.
“I gave the students some challenging repertoire this year,” said Shelby. “Many of our pieces require students to listen closely to their peers and to blend with the overall ensemble. While there are still improvements to be made, I know this concert will be a fantastic end to our fall semester!”
Join Us in Celebrating Music
Ms. Shelby invites everyone to attend these performances and celebrate the students’ love of music. The hard work and dedication of the South Harrison Vocal Music Department promise to make these events truly memorable.
Mark your calendars, and don’t miss the chance to support and enjoy the incredible talent of our South Harrison students!
