We had an inspirational day of coaching with Jim last Saturday!  It was so exciting to work together to tighten chords and choreo and polish our repertoire. 

Last night, we had the pleasure of meeting and listening to performances by our 2017 Scholarship winner, Bailey Grey.  She is a graduating senior from Livingston (NJ) High School and has been involved with music since she was a child, joining the cast of the Mary Poppins National Tour at age 10. 
Bailey has sung in four high school ensembles, has had leading roles in her high school musicals, played cello in the high school orchestra, and performed as a soloist in school cabarets. Bailey is a section leader, and a leader in the high school theater department.  She is a member of the Tri--M Music Honor Society and received a National Italian award. 

We are thrilled that our newest quartet, Take Note!,  will be performing with the Morris Music Men at a fundraiser for the ECLC, a non-profit organization providing an array of services for adults with developmental disabilities in Chatham on Saturday, April 1, from 4 - 6pm.  Click here for more info on the event.  As we singers say, Break a Lip!!

Janene DePalo was having a lot of fun directing high school musicals, but she really wanted to have as much fun as the student stars she directed. So in 2007, she looked around the local musical landscape and found a place to grow with Hickory Tree Chorus. She’s been singing with HTC ever since – with the chorus, in VLQ’s, with Midnight Rhythm and Moonstruck quartets, for three years with the Women’s Harmony Brigade, and almost every gig, big or small, that comes our way!

“Janene has grown so much since she joined HTC, and she’s an incredible team player,” says Hickory Tree Chorus Master Director, Carolyn Schmidt.
