Core Programs
- Vocal Scholarship Program. Our Vocal Scholarship program continues to help countless area high school students make music a part of their college studies. Recognizing notable academic achievement, a passion for music, and an intention to pursue this passion in college and beyond, past recipients include our current director, as well as a who's who of other musical professionals. Overall in the past 60+ years, we have awarded tens of thousands of dollars in Vocal Scholarships – including nearly $20,000 in just the last five years.
- The Patriotic Concert. The Patriotic Concert is one of The Badger Chordhawks’ core productions. The purpose is to: (i) bring our community together; (ii) with music as the medium, reignite our shared patriotism; and (iii) raise money for our local heroes. Since 2019 alone, the Concert has raised over $25,000 for Rock County Veterans Services, just north of $2,000 for The Academy’s at-risk youth programs, and also several hundred dollars for VetsRoll.
- Christmas with the Chordhawks. Our “Christmas with the Chordhawks” show rings in the annual holiday season as the area’s first festive event in December. And it remains our gift to the community – all performances are free and open to the public. We do accept freewill donations at this event, all of which go to fund Vocal Scholarships.
