Varsity Singers performed on Friday

Ada Varsity Singers gave a special performance of this year’s show to Ada elementary students on Jan. 11.

Based on comments posted on Ada Bulldogs Facebook the performance was a huge hit.

“Little Red” (as in Little Red Riding Hood) is this year’s Varsity Singers show theme. Vocalists are directed by Scott Henning and instrumentalists are directed by Jonathan Lischak. Varsity Singers have 28 singers, 13 band members, and 4 crew members.

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

Music and costumes from the 1940s-1950s era add nostalgia to this year’s show.

Two water towers and a double-banner proclaim the village where you'll see this view. Like the title says, "This picture says 'Ada'."
