Classic Harmony Shows this Saturday - tickets available
Door sales and online sales are still available for the Classic Harmony shows , 2pm & 7.30pm at Waikato University's Concert Chamber.
You'll be highly entertained with stunning vocal harmonies in a variety show featuring the amazing quartet Instant Classic, international champions from the USA. We are lucky to have persuaded them to come here before they go to sing at the Pan Pacific Barbershop Convention in Auckland.
Also in the show line-up are:
Mighty River Harmony - the Waikato's men's barbershop chorus
Manu Mātātahi - the new, vibrant youth chorus
Unlimited - NZ's champion double gold medal-winning women's quartet
The Usual Suspects - voted the most entertaining quartet in last year's Barbershop Harmony NZ Convention
We are incredibly lucky to have secured Instant Classic for the two Waikato shows. They are highly entertaining and you wont want to miss this unique opportunity to hear one of the world's best quartets.
This Saturday 9th September at 2pm and 7.30pm at the Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts, University of Waikato
Adults $35; Seniors & Students $30. ($2.50 fees apply if booking through Ticketek.)

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
