Take nearly 200 guys, age 8 – 18, put them on stage in brightly colored t-shirts, add some classic tunes – “From Barbershop to Old Time Rock & Roll”, a touch of choreography, a band and a bit of “guys rule” attitude and what do you have? The 2012 Sing-Raise the Roof Boychoir in concert.
Started in 2001 by the Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale, the Sing – Raise the Roof Boychoir Festival will take place February 22 – 25, culminating with their concert on the evening of February 25. Participants meet after school for rehearsals for four days, preparing for a concert that has become a standing-room-only event. While the pure energy of nearly 200 guys on stage together is amazing in itself, what is more mind boggling is how these guys, from all corners of the Pikes Peak region, can come together for only four rehearsals, and deliver a concert that almost raises the roof of the hall.
Raise the Roof singers include young men from across the region with talents in many areas including sports, academics, music, and theater. This festival is for any boys who enjoy singing, regardless of whether they plan to be doctors, lawyers, rocket scientists, professional athletes, or even musicians! Registrations are still being accepted for boys and young men interested in participating in the festival. Any guys in grades 3 – 12 are invited to join in the fun of the festival. A teacher recommendation is requested. The registration fee for the Festival is $40. Some financial assistance is available. Call 633-3562 or visit www.kidssing.org to get registration information.
