WHS singers Adrian Blackman and Kevin Angus recently returned from Harmony Extreme - a 4 day camp located at Bridgewater State College in MA. The purpose of the camp is to promote and expose young men to acapella music. The students and educators that attend the camp come from all over the northeast. The Barbershop Harmony Society sponsor the students and provide them with some of the biggest names in barbershop to direct them. This year the 50 plus member chorus was under the direction of Rick Spencer, Larry Bean and the internationally award winning quartet "Men In Black". The students prepared 3 barbershop and 3 non-barbershop songs over the 4 days.

While the students were rehearsing, WHS Music teacher Terry Bradway participated in the educators track which consisted of attending 22+ hours of rehearsals and clinics that provided her with tools and information on how to enhance her abilities as a music educator.

The camp concluded with an amazing concert from the young men, the educators and 5 award winning quartets. The finale of the program brought all 100 plus singers together to sing "An American Hymn" which brought the audience to their feet.

"The boys and I really enjoyed the experience that the camp provided and are looking forward to attending again next year," said Mrs. Bradway.
