Seabury Hall’s Middle and Upper School Choral Ensembles have been busy rehearsing songs associated with various American cities and regions for a unique “Road Trip,” a spring concert that will be presented Thursday and Friday at the school’s ʻAʻaliʻikūhonua Creative Arts Center.

Directed by Molly Schad, “Road Trip” features 125 students performing with a live band, transporting their audience on a musical coast-to-coast journey.

The students recently debuted two of the show’s songs, “Iko Iko” and “The Birth of the Blues,” at the sixth annual Maui District High School Choir Festival at King Kekaulike High School.

Opening with some soulful jazz from New Orleans and ending with the bright pop of California, songs on the way are associated with Appalachia, Chicago, Las Vegas and Detroit — all accompanied by relevant background visuals.

Featuring full-choir anthems, small ensemble numbers, featured soloists and dynamic choreography, “Road Trip” promises a high-energy scenic route.

“It kind of takes us all over the map,” explained Schad, who has directed choral groups at the school since 2014. “We go to New Orleans and sing a couple of songs, and then we head to Las Vegas and might have a special guest appearance from Elvis.”

The show then heads north to Chicago for Chicago’s hit “25 or 6 to 4,” “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire, and “All That Jazz” from the musical “Chicago.”

After intermission, “we go to what I’m calling Appalachia,” said Schad. “I have three girls singing the Dolly Parton song ‘Light of a Clear Blue Morning,’ but they’re doing a different arrangement by Waylon Jennings. One of the songs we’re doing when we’re in Appalachia is the song that the kids were most curious about, called ‘Boil Them Cabbage Down.’ It’s an old folk song, probably one of their favorite songs. It feels like a good old-fashioned hoedown.”

They next journey north to Detroit for “a little Motown, ‘Stop in the Name of Love’ and a little Aretha Franklin,” said Schad. “Then finally to California with, of course, a little Beach Boys. We’re doing a song from the movie ‘La La Land,’ and (Fleetwood Mac’s) ‘Landslide,’ and we’re going to end with ‘Country Roads.'”

In between each set, “I have four students who are going to be acting like a family on the road trip,” she noted. “They will come out and do a short scene to kind of guide the audience along.”

With songs arranged by Schad, “we’re trying to give a nice wide variety,” she said. “In the past few years, the spring concerts have had more of a pops feel, doing a lot of fun stuff. Last year, we did all Broadway music, and the year prior, we called it ‘Radio Rewind,’ and it went by decades, from the ’60s to today with pop hits. This one is focused on different geographical areas, which allowed us to do a wide variety of music.”

With 66 middle school and 58 upper school students singing, they will be accompanied by Phillip Kirchman on piano, Saeed Marandi on lead guitar, Xavier Rodriguez on guitar and Peter Della Croce on percussion.

“We incorporate a lot of choreography and movement in the Spring concert,” said Schad. “So it’s a feast for the eyes and the ears.”

“Road Trip” will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday at Seabury Hall’s ʻAʻaliʻikūhonua Creative Arts Center. Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors and $5 for students. Children under 4 are free. For more information, go to seaburyhall.org/arts.
