NEHS choirs bring Broadway to local stage
March 20, 2009
NEHS Exit One, Concert and SSA Women’s Choir have been chosen to open for The Haywood Family Show in Branson, Missouri.
"One" from "A Chorus Line" -- a fitting end to an evening of Broadway
After two months of intensive rehearsals in both voice and choreography, to say nothing of the memorization involved, Broadway came to Clarksville Thursday evening as the Northeast High School Choral Department presented its Spring Show 2009 in the NEHS auditorium.
The show will also be presented Tonight at 7 p.m. and on Sunday, March 22, at 3 p.m. Admission is $5 per adult, $3 per student.
It’s a show that has something extra this year when the Exit One Show Choir, the Concert Choir and the SSA Women’s Choir travel to Branson, Missouri in April to perform as the opening act for the Haywood Family Show, with a selection of routines from the current show to be performed and taped “on tour.” [Read more]

Under the direction of teacher Debbie Wilson, four groups, beginning choir, concert choir, SSA (a women’s choir) and the Exit I Choir presented a broad selection of traditional Christmas music, including Latin Hymns, and culminating with a vibrant rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus.
