TOTR TO PRESENT HOT AUGUST NIGHT SHOW
LITTLE ROCK-Top of the Rock Chorus, (TOTR) Arkansas's
premier four-part harmony a cappella chorus, will present
Hot August Night in the Pulaski Academy Performing Arts
Center on Saturday, August 7, 2010, at 7 p.m. This entertaining
group of women will dazzle the audience with exceptional
vocal skills and challenging choreography as they perform
old favorites and debut several new songs. This year's
production titled "Backstage" will give the
audience a peek at what happens "behind the scenes"
prior to an opening night performance. Also performing
on the show this year is the 2010 Region 25 quartet
champions, Timeless, and the ensemble Rockstar. General
admission to the show is $20.00, $15.00 for seniors
60 years or older and $10.00 for students 18 years and
younger. Tickets are available from any chorus member,
online at www.topoftherockchorus.com, or at the door.
Founded in the early 1960's, TOTR is a
full-charter member of Sweet Adelines International
with more than 60 members. Under Master Directors Peggy
Barnes Gram and Kelly Causey, the TOTR has consistently
placed among the top five in their five-state region
and qualified for international competition seven times.
In 2000, the chorus earned the Harmony Achievement Award
during the Sweet Adelines International Convention and
Competition in Orlando, Florida. Top of the Rock is
the current Region 25 Mid-Sized Chorus Champion and
will compete in the Sweet Adelines International competition
in Houston, TX, in October 2011. The chorus placed second
in the world in midsize chorus competition in the International
Harmony Classic in Nashville, Tennessee, in October
2009.
Sweet Adelines International is the world's largest
and most respected women's singing organization with
almost 26,000 members in the United States, Canada and
12 other countries. Members of the 600 choruses and
1,200 quartets benefit from superb vocal education,
opportunities to perform in concerts, the chance to
