Hawks in Harmony
Extracurricular A Cappella Group
Holten Richmond Middle School
Alex Grover, Director
What is Hawks in Harmony?
Hawks in Harmony is an auditioned extracurricular a cappella group at Holten Richmond Middle School. The group is composed of members from grades 6-8 interested in and dedicated to higher level singing opportunities. In the group, students will primarily sing contemporary pop a cappella music and will perform at two Danvers concerts.
Will everyone be selected to the group?
Membership in the group is dependent on how many people and the talent level seen at auditions. In the past, Hawks in Harmony has been a larger ensemble. This year, the intention is to be more selective so that the group can engage in rigorous repertoire and rehearsal engagement expectations. Please note, membership in the ensemble in previous years does not guarantee a spot this year.
