Fourteen teenagers took to the stage yesterday at the First Congregational Church in Glen Ellyn. Oh did they ever take to the stage!! In a mixture of current pop music, past oldies and some of their very own songwriting, this group put on a sensational concert that brought smiles and laughter to the entire audience.
The program featured solo's and duets in addition to the entire group of singers performing some of the hottest hits. All of this was done to raise funds for Schools Count Corp. as we continue to help schools in New Orleans and Chicago.
The thirteen Glenbard West and one Hinsdale Central students put on a memorable performance that included such favorites at 'Love,' 'Down,' 'Moon River,' '8 Days a Week,' 'Natural Woman,' and 'Don't Stop Believin.' In all, A Cappella Underground sang 18, count 'em, 18 different songs.
Their voices were sharp, the singers were well rehearsed and their coordinated efforts were superb. This was a first rate performance! I know that I left First Congregational happy to have met the entire group and totally enthused by their performance.
Here's to A Cappella Underground...all fourteen members; Maddie Brady, Alex Cooper, Emily Crowe, George Dallman, Spencer Douglas, Amanda Heidorn, Allyse McGrath, Paul Nicholson, Conor Owens, Laura Petruskka, Abbie Reifel, Annie Russell, Sarah Schuessler, and Kevin Vondrak. Special mention goes out to Sarah Schuessler for convincing the group to donate the entire proceeds of the performance to Schools Count Corp. Thanks Sarah!
A Happy Patron,
Dick Flesher
