Top-Notch Ensembles<\/p>\n

The director, designers, and choreographers of a choir work together to conceive and implement an amazing program, one that will allow the students to show off their skills while bringing every audience member to their feet. From costumes to makeup, arrangements to staging and set designs, these programs leave no stone unturned. They spend hours on end making sure every note, tone, and release is perfect while visual blocks mark the positions and detail every step in the choreography. Countless meetings help the booster group identify the needs and opportunities available for all performing ensembles. HOA groups excel at their craft and the performers are ready to take the next step on a national stage. <\/p>\n

\n

Local Sights to See<\/p>\n

HOA has long chosen only the best, world-class venues for competitions. All shows are contained in one location including hotel, performance site, and multiple meal choice options. Located in magnificent cities, students and spectators alike can enjoy the many tourist options either before or after the competition date. Imagine catching Moulin Rouge on Broadway or spending a day in Disney\u2019s Animal Kingdom. Additional performance opportunities may also be available.<\/p>\n

Giving Back<\/p>\n

HOA is committed to supporting the Thirst Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The mission is simple: Build a socially-conscious generation of young people who END the global water crisis. To do this, we must educate people about it and activate them to rock the clean water cause and build real water projects all over the world. Why Water? Health and Sanitation: Waterborne diseases kill more children every single year than AIDS, Malaria and all world violence combined. MTC has committed to matching, dollar for dollar, every donation made at all three HOA sites this winter. We have additionally committed to building one well a year for the next three years. <\/p>\n

When a person gains perspective on an issue as big as the global water crisis, amazing things happen! In just six years, Show Choirs for Thirst have spoken to over 300,000 students, and STUDENTS have been the driving force in helping us raise over 8 million dollars, giving clean water to 13 different countries and over 280,000 people . . . and they are just getting started!<\/p>\n

We invite you to learn more by texting Thirst<\/strong> to 97779<\/strong> or by donating at www.hoachoir.com\/thirst<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s a Family Affair<\/p>\n

Nothing brings a family closer more than spending time together doing something they all enjoy. Grandparents and parents, siblings and family friends become mesmerized by the amazing performances at an HOA event. Professional sound and lighting make this event a true Broadway-like experience. Every performer is full of energy and pizazz, wearing more sequins than imaginable while bringing spectators to their feet. <\/p>\n

The Heart, of America<\/p>\n

Heart of America is committed to providing FAIR, EDUCATIONAL and AFFORDABLE events with the highest level of professionalism and integrity. They believe that students can learn as much off stage as they do on, thus they strive to provide a safe and friendly space where students and parents alike can stay, perform, eat, find age-appropriate entertainment, and learn, all under one roof. HOA also offers scholarship opportunities for students through ongoing arrangements with many of their partners and sponsors. Heart of America continues to grow and cultivate an environment where competition drives excellence; where every student is valued and given the opportunity to succeed.<\/p>\n
