(MSC News)--The 14th Annual Songfest will be at the Fisher Center on Sunday.
Songfest is a night of food and entertainment, presented by the Hiawatha High School Headliners show choir.
Vocal Director Sarah Kleopfer said the event was initially planned by parents as a fund raiser to help defray the cost of costumes for Headliners students. The tradition has continued.
The activities start at 6 p.m. with a soup supper that features four types of homemade soup, homemade rolls and relishes. It is topped off by dessert. All of the food is made by Headliner parents and served by students.
Once the group is served, at about 7 p.m., the entertainment starts. The Headliners will perform several selections as a group and there will be individual and ensemble performances as well.
Last year, close to 200 people attended the event, which is Sunday, Sept. 28 at the Fisher Community Center in Hiawatha. Kleopfer said money raised from the event typically helps pay for all of the cost of the boys’ costumes and most of the expense of the girls’ dresses, which are slightly higher.
This year, Headliners was opened to incoming freshman for try-outs and there are a total of 20 in this year’s group. They perform four concerts throughout the year, in addition to various contests. They also perform at seasonal events, such as the Walk of Trees and at the Brown County Courthouse.
“We pretty much sing at wherever people want us to, depending upon our schedule,” Kleopfer said.
Tickets for the event are $10 and can be purchased from any Headliner student or are available at the school office until Monday, Sept. 22. Contact HHS at 742-3312 for more information.
