A full audience is packed in the theater, as the spotlights beckons you to the stage. On Thursday, February 23rd at 7 pm, the Blue Notes and Bare Voices choirs will feel what it is like to perform like Broadway stars.

The theme for the concert is On Broadway, and Bare Voices will be performing “Dancing Queen” from Mamma Mia!, “Old Man River” from Show Boat, and more, Jack Frommelt, sophomore, said. The Blue Notes will be performing “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from Hairspray, “Ease on Down the Road from The Wiz”, and a medley of songs from Grease, Caitlyn Bertrand, senior, said.

Bertrand has been on Blue Notes since her sophomore year and this concert finally allows her to display her two interest, she said.

“I am really excited because theater and choir are my two big passions in high school and this concert is different because we get to combine the two,” Bertrand said. “I think that the song selections from both groups are a good mix of Broadway shows and there is a song for everyone to relate to and enjoy. I’m most excited to perform our Grease medley. It’s unlike anything we’ve done before and this group really challenged ourselves on creating a different kind of piece.”

The students in Bare Voices and Blue Notes have been practicing since their last holiday concert and work hard to showcase their love of performing, Frommelt said.

“I’ve always loved singing and performing,” Bertrand said. “It’s fun to be something or someone you are not for a short period of time. I think music is just a great form of expression. With theater and choir you get a sense of family and community. We all share the same passion and it’s just a really cool thing.”

Although choir students display their passion through their performances, nerves still get to some no matter what the experience level is, Bertrand said.

“I still get nervous all the time,” Bertrand said. “It’s a good kind of nervousness though. The feeling of performing is one of the coolest things. People are fully engaged in what you have to tell them and the story you’re portraying. It’s really rewarding knowing that the people in the audience are supporting what you love to do.”
