Glacier choirs have 'Something to Sing About'

The Glacier High School Choral Department will present “Something to Sing About” Oct. 24.

There are two chances to catch the show. The choirs will perform at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the Glacier High performance hall. There is no charge for this event.

The Glacier girls’ choir will open the concert with several traditional melodies, including  “The Gift of Love” and “When the Sun Goes In,” followed by the Glacier men’s choir singing songs of exploration and adventure.

The girls’ jazz choir, the Glacier Breeze, will entertain the audience with a famous swing tune from the 1930s, “In the Mood.” The advanced women’s choir will perform songs of love and close with a popular barbershop tune, “Mister Sandman.”

The Glacier Echoes recently performed in the Glacier Jazz Stampede Gospel Choir and will sing several tunes from that event. The concert choir will close the performance with Stephen Chatman’s work “Due North.”

“‘Due North’” is a collection of five songs that describe the northwest corner of the United States. The audience will enjoy hearing woodpeckers tapping on dead boughs and mosquitoes buzzing,” says Sandee Sauer, Glacier High School choir director.
