Harvard Glee Clubs Unite to Raise Funds Chewstick Renovation | March 14th | 7pm
If you like fun, good music and a bit of healthy competition come through to The Chewstick Headquarters at 81 Front Street (between Onion Jack’s and Astwood Dickinson) on Saturday, March 14th at 7pm; The Chewstick Foundation will be hosting a performance and Karaoke Battle featuring the Harvard Krokodiloes and Radcliffe Pitches. This is an event not to be missed as it is the chance to not only see the groups showcase their repertoire of original jazz songs acapella but to also take part in an evening that will move the Foundation forward in its renovation efforts.
The performance marks the fourth year that the Chewstick Foundation has been able to organize an event with a visiting acapella group from Harvard as an extension of their annual tour tradition to Bermuda as guests of the U.S. Consul General, a tradition that had been on going for over 50 years. The Chewstick Foundation first welcomed the Harvard Krokodiloes into their facility on the corner of Elliot Street and Court Street in 2012 and has since been able to connect with additional groups to connect the visiting students to an even broader audience. Joshua a representative from the Harvard Krokodiloes noted “as a member of the 2013 group, the performance at Chewstick was one of the most fun nights during my stay! It allowed for a very different atmosphere from our usual engagements and I am confident that a performance once again at The Chewstick Lounge would make a great kick-off for our tour of the island.”
The Krokodiloes battled the Pitches last year in our first Battle of the Sexes and lost!! So reigning champions the Radcliffe Pitches are on task to once again take the boys to school. Check out 2013’s event featuring the Harvard Krokodiloes here!
The Chewstick Foundation is happy that both groups will be featured again this year and honoured that this will be the first performance for the 2015 visit for the Kroks and Pitches. Rebecca a representative of the Radcliffe Pitches shared “ Every year, [The Pitches] travel to beautiful Bermuda in March for spring break each semester with their brother groups. It is a whirlwind and wonderful adventure each time, and we are so happy to be including a visit to the wonderful Chewstick Lounge this year.” Following the groups’ repertoire of songs they’ll be put to the test in a “Kroks vs Pitches Karaoke Battle”. Audience members can make a donation to choose Karaoke songs for any volunteer from the Kroks or Pitches to perform.
Don’t miss the opportunity to hear your favorite song in a battle between the men and women of Harvard at an event that is sure to be fun, unpredictable and memorable. The show will begin at 7pm with performances by the Harvard Krokodiloes and Radcliffe Pitches.
For more information on the March 14th performance call 292-2439 or email info@chewstick.org. You can also visit www.kroks.com for information on the Harvard Krokodiloes or
