Students Create Magic on Stage at Mini-Show Choir Workshop
10/03/2024
The Halloween season is the perfect time of year for students to express their creative side and bring to life some incredible theatrics, musical productions and designs. On Oct. 2, a group of 52 students in grades 3-8 participated in a mini-show choir workshop to learn vocals and a choreography routine to “I Put a Spell on You” from Disney’s Hocus Pocus.
This fundraiser performance was hosted by HHS Variations Show Choir students, the Variations Booster Board and HHS Director/Choreographer Mr. Michael Zeiler. All proceeds directly benefit this year’s trip to Hershey Park and the Flight 93 Museum.
“This experience gave the Variations members an enormous responsibility of peer leadership by physically teaching song and dance,” said Mr. Zeiler. “Each of these high school students are truly shaping the future for a younger generation at Highlands and creating a love for music and the performing arts within each of them.”
Mr. Zeiler hopes this experience also leaves a lasting impression on all the students who attended the workshop, and he looks forward to them possibly becoming performers on the HHS stage!
This same type of workshop for grades 3-8 will be offered on Saturday, March 8, 2025 from 1:00-3:00pm, featuring vocals and choreography from this year’s musical, Footloose. More info will be shared at the end of February 2025.
