Clinicians and Performers The Hartselle High School
Combined Choir is composed of singers who are selected by individual auditions. This choir includes members of Concert Choir, Ensemble and The Performers. Concert Choir performs a varied repertoire of Sacred, Pop, and Competition pieces.
The SSA
Ensemble was formed in 2003 with the purpose of giving girls a "small group experience" and to sing varied material. Their repertoire consist of Competition Music, Sacred Music, Pop and Show Choir Tunes. In the 70’s, a group called Sr. Ensemble was created.
Later this
group was opened to Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors and became known as The Performers. These students have a wide repertoire of Competition Music, Sacred Music, Pop, Show Choir Tunes, and Broadway Numbers. They have trav- elled abroad to share their gift of music. In addition to their Annual Christmas and Spring Concert, these choirs are very active in singing for Community events.
These students have had the opportunity to sing at many venues including,
AMEA Conference for two years, Follies, State School Board National Convention, District and State Choral Festivals, Cancer Society Teas, local Churches, retirement centers, schools and other Civic Organisations. Past Tours include: All- American Music Festival - Nashville TN; Young Americans National Invitational Performance Choir Festival - California; Williamsburg, Virginia; Mozart Celebration at the Lincoln Center; Avery Fisher Hall - New York; Carnegie Hall - New York; Advent Sing - Vienna, Austria; America Sings - New York; Liberty Bowl Half-Time Performance; Disney Magic Music Days - Orlando, Florida; a five city tour of Italy; North Carolina Music Festival; St. Augustine, Florida; Charleston, South Carolina; and Boston, Massachusetts. Our music program is designed to not only enhance the student’s performing abilities but to also give them something to carry with them throughout life. Our motto is "Called to Excellence". We believe that we can meet our goal by doing more than just singing. We strive to make music.
