BHC poses after their sound check at the Frank Erwin Center (click to enlarge)

Fourth and fifth grade members of the Barton Hills Choir will be performing a special 8 minute set Saturday at the Frank Erwin Center before the Davis Cup Quarterfinal tennis matches begin. Immediately prior to the national anthem the choir will sing the patriotic favorite This Land Is Your Land, followed by sock hop hits Help Me Rhonda/Tossin’ and Turnin’, Love Potion Number Nine, and Splish Splash.

Gavin Tabone will direct and accompany the choir on keyboards, accompanied by Aaron “Hair Doctor” Dembe on electric guitar and Jake “Mr. Bubbles” Perlman on drums. The choir and musicians rehearsed at a sound check in the Erwin Center Thursday. You can view photos by Lynn Williamson and Alec Harris in this Flickr photoset.

This will be the largest indoor arena the choir has ever performed in, and since tickets to the event are sold out the expected crowd of 15,000 will be the largest audience to see them live. Watch this web site for photos and video of their performance coming soon!
