Hymn Howlers & Small Ensembles

There are many, many instrumental opportunities for interested Scholars here at Georgetown including the Chapel Brass and depending upon the semester, our Tiger Band Woodwind Choir, "Bahb's Family [saxophone quartet], The Chamber String Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble, etc.. In the Spring of 1998, however, we also founded  a "foursome" known as the "Hymn Howlers". The original ensemble comprised of C. Acklin, I. LaRue, K. Brown and P. LaRue - performed locally as well as traveled with Dr. Crouch. For the past several years, the "HH" have expanded slightly and again performed in several, sacred venues [the actual size of the HH varies a tad from year to year and this year shall be a quintet]. Although the HH did not perform last year, we probably shall this year and the 2008-2009 membership will probably include - Erica Miller, Stephen Parker, Dewey Creech, Michael Gilkison and P. LaRue.

We shall also be looking at =- more small ensemble offerings [like Team Sax last year] and I envision a Tiger Percussion Ensemble, A Tiger Horn Choir, a Tiger Flute Choir, et al.

These groups shall be ust another example of the flexibility and versatility of our Band Scholars.
