After a week-long summer camp, Ada High School's Varsity Singers will present their 2018-19 premier performance at 6 p.m., Friday, Aug. 3 in the Ada school auditorium. The show is free and open to the public.

“Little Red” (as in Little Red Riding Hood) is this year’s theme. Vocalists are directed by Scott Henning, now in his third year at Ada, and instrumentalists are directed by Jonathan Lischak, a 10-year teacher at AHS. There are 28 singers, 13 band members, and 4 crew members this year.

Oshra Gadkar, an ONU student, is choreographer. Aleece Al-Olimat, an AHS sophomore, is pianist.

Scott explained that the Varsity Singers are going for a more theatrical look this year. Music and costumes from the 1940s-1950s era will add nostalgia to the performance.

Mark Friday evening on your calendar to see the first Varsity Singers performance of the year and plan to take a trip down memory lane with the ever-popular Varsity Singers.
