Chamber Singers discuss approaching Dinner Show
Chamber Singer’s completely “remodel” the Gym A. This is what the stage looks like after it has been completely set up with lights.
“Celebrate the Magic” is the theme for the 2016 Dinner Show performed by the Chamber Singers. Tickets are still available for purchase in the office or from any of the Chamber Singers members. Dinner Show will be held May 5-7 in Gym A. Seating starts at 6:15 p.m.
Junior Kristen Nease has been a member of Chamber Singers since her sophomore year.
“We start working on Dinner Show months in advance,” Nease said. “Disney is so entertaining and widespread that the audience will be on their toes the whole time.”
Nease added she is excited for her solos and the dancing.
“We all work so hard to put on a great show,” Nease said. “It’s a great night filled with food and singing.”
Senior Madison Prough has been involved with Chamber Singers for one year.
“It is definitely a long process to get everything the way we want it,” Prough said. “I sing a duet with Dusty Schneider, which I am incredibly excited for.”
Prough and Schneider will be singing “When We’re Human” from Disney’s “Princess and the Frog”.
Loading ...Senior Kinsey Ackerman has been involved with Chamber Singers for two years.
“With Disney, you get such a variety,” Ackerman said. “There’s comedy, drama, fast, slow and everything in between. Even if you aren’t a Disney fan, you will be able to find something you enjoy in this show.”
Ackerman sings in a small group with seniors Bethany Kuhn and Rachel Stritt. Together, they will perform “Zero to Hero” from Disney’s “Hercules”.
“People should come to Dinner Show to not only support the school, but to support the students’ talents,” Ackerman said. “Dinner Show is the time to show everyone that our efforts pay off. This show is also very entertaining. There is not one act or number that doesn’t capture the magic of Disney.”
Sophomore Dusty Schneider said he was nervous for his first Dinner Show performance.
“I’m singing ‘Make a Man Out of You’ from ‘Mulan’,” Schneider said. “People should come to this because we work really hard. It’s also such a great night full of music and food.”
Senior Aaron Jeffus said he is sad that this will be his last Dinner Show.
“I’ve been involved with Chamber Singers for 3 years now,” Jeffus said. “Many people know the songs that we are performing this year, so I believe everyone will enjoy it.”
Jeffus will be singing “Friend Like Me” from “Aladdin”.
“I am very excited to perform in Dinner Show this year,” Jeffus said. “I just want to tell the underclassmen Chamber Singers to keep performing and going on to achieve their absolute best.”
Sophomores Madison Karlin and Sarah Wyse said Dinner Show is perfect to enjoy with friends.
“I’m very excited to perform with the group,” Karlin said. “I know things are a little frenzied right now because it’s crunch time, but I genuinely think that our group has the talent to pull it all together.”
“This is my first experience with Dinner Show,” Wyse said. “I’m a little nervous, but Dinner Show is a great place to show our talent. Plus, the theme is Disney so the audience will definitely enjoy it.”
Senior Taylor Leiker said the whole group bonds as a family during Dinner Show.
“Music is what got me through high school,” Leiker said. “People always genuinely enjoy Dinner Show, no matter the theme. It’s a few hours of your day where you can let go of your problems and enjoy a great show.”
Student tickets can be purchased in the office for $10. Tickets for non-students can be purchased either in the office or through any of the Chamber Singer members. The price for a non-student ticket is $18.
