e’re only halfway through the school year and we could Walready say that this has been a successful year for the Singing Hoo- siers. First semester was a busy one for us after going on nearly 10 road shows, a big change from last year’s first semester because La Bohème conflicted for most of our members. In addition, we received a very large and especially talented group of new members that should make second semester a thing to see. With our spring concert coming up on April 1, we’ll be going through a lot of preparation throughout this upcoming semester, and, for the first time in Singing Hoosiers history, there is a new rehearsal schedule. Starting this semester, we will be entering our trial run that changes the 3:35–4:25 p.m. daily schedule (which has been around since the beginning) to a 3:35–4:40 p.m. Monday–Thursday sched- ule.
