The Music program at Bismarck State College presents its third annual "Sing Appeal" men's vocal festival and finale concert Saturday, May 3, at 7:30 p.m. in Belle Mehus City Auditorium.
Six Appeal, a professional a cappella vocal band from Minneapolis, performs along with the BSC Men's Ensemble and area high school singers under the direction of Dawn Hagerott.
Tickets can be purchased in advance at Eckroth Music or at the door. General admission is $5.
The festival begins Friday with rehearsals and vocal workshops by members of Six Appeal and BSC music faculty. Hagerott said music selections will be challenging with students learning tight a cappella singing in four- to eight-part harmonies.
Singers will collaborate on a few pieces together such as Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" and the Lion King's "Circle of Life." The evening ends with a full performance by Six Appeal singing songs from their new album, "Plan A," and other selections.
Six Appeal has become a world class vocal ensemble, gaining national notice with several awards in 2012, including National Harmony Sweepstakes Champion. Two Bismarck men are members – Reuben Hushagen, 2009 BSC graduate, and Jordan Roll, the group's manager. In performance, Six Appeal spans decades of music with members blending effortlessly between pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, catchy original tunes, current chart toppers, classic a cappella music, and other eclectic repertoire.
Ensemble members have more than 70 combined years of musical training and experience that includes degrees in vocal/classroom music and vocal performance and pedagogy. The group provides student instruction and curriculum help to teachers during residencies and performances nationwide.
