Youth in Harmony Festival set Monday at EIU



CHARLESTON — The Coles County Barbershop Chorus will host the sixth annual Southeastern Illinois Youth in Harmony Festival on Monday.

Eleven high schools will bring more than 260 students to the event, which will be housed at the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union on the campus at Eastern Illinois University.

Coles County barbershoppers Dave Clausing (Mattoon) and Tom Woodall (Charleston) are the coordinators of the event.

Schools attending this year are Casey-Westfield, Central A&M, Cumberland, Dieterich, East Richland, Kansas, Oakland, Oblong, Paris Cooperative, Shelbyville and West Vigo (Terre Haute).

Throughout the day, the students will experience the barbershop sound as they learn new songs under the instruction of some very experienced barbershoppers and clinicians.

Working with the girls will be a Sweet Adelines Quartet called Ethel. The four members of the group live in Champaign, Danville and St. Louis.

The boys will be taught by a men’s barbershop quartet called Lunch Break. They are from Nashville, Tenn., and placed 12th in the international competition last summer in Anaheim, Calif.

The boys and girls choruses will perform their newly learned songs at a 6:30 p.m. show at the EIU Grand Ballroom. The program is free and open to the public.

The girls will sing “All My Lovin’,” “When I’m 64” and “Ain’t That Good News?”. The boys chorus will perform the “Banana Boat Song,” “Hush” and “You’re Drivin’ Me Crazy.”

A girls quartet from Charleston High School will perform one of the songs they will be singing in their tour to Cleveland, Ohio, later in the week. In addition, Ethel and Lunch Break will perform at the program, which will finish by 8 p.m.
