HOJA Performance

Tammy sent this in as feedback regarding Hoja:

Today the Haultain students, staff and parents enjoyed an enthusiastic presentation with HOJA. This energetic a Capella group managed to wake up the entire student body along with some sleepy parents in the back row. They regaled us by performing popular songs that they created using only their voices. Each of the group's members sang a variety of different voice parts, including bass lines, lead vocals, tenor and baritone, vocal percussion, instrument sounds such as guitars and other assorted sound effects.

Their message included a recap of our 3 pillars of care and a surprising appearance with Mr. Murphy who showed off some previously undisclosed musical talents. Mrs. Huska wowed everyone with her aplomb and grace as she was serenaded by two of the group's members with the song 'Pretty Woman'. The entertaining group left CDs in the office for purchase at $15.00 for any students or parents who are interested. I highly recommend this group.


Thank you Tammy, for the post. If you saw this performance or your kids have talked about it - leave a comment to let us know how it went.
