News release
The Hays High Plains Barbershop Chapter is looking forward to its 54th annual show, "Let's Celebrate Singing Again" to be presented April 2 at Beach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center on the Fort Hays State campus. There will be two shows; 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm.
Joining the chorus on stage for this 54th annual show will be 2019 5th place International awards winner. It will also include local quartets Prairie Timbre, Uncalled Four and Classix as well as The Fort Hays Singers. We will be singing songs from Blue Suede, Billy Joel, Lee Greenwood and many more.
Show Co-Chair Vance Chartier said, "We are all very excited about this year's show, since this is our 54th year of presenting the very finest of barbershop music to the patrons of the Central States
District. We are also delighted to have our chapter coach, Dr. Terry Crull, the Director of Choral Activities at Ft. Hays State University, emcee our event this year."
The chorus always looks forward to singing with the headliners and local quartets at this event because it helps further the chapter's primary goal of fostering the growth of community singing and help provide scholarships to young people who love to sing. The success of this show annually also helps provide thousands of dollars to various schools, singing groups, and other organizations that help people with special needs. The chapter membership is currently in the process of selling advertising in the show program to support this important event. Nearly 2,000 people attend the show each year, and the advertisers make this event possible.
Because the 2020 show was canceled at the last minute and the ads and tickets sold went unused, we will be honoring those ads and will deliver the tickets for this show to them. We are hoping that since it has been a couple of years since we have been able to conduct our big annual fundraising concert that businesses will want to increase the size of their ad in our bulletin to help us raise funds for our causes that we support. The chapter is thankful for the community support.
