Students who enjoy singing show tunes in the shower and screaming fight songs at sporting events may find themselves at home in the new ensemble Singing Sooners.

The group is open to all students, regardless of major, and designed to bring students together through music.

“I’d like this group to unite the campus in song,” said Richard Zielinski, group co-director and director of choral activities.

Zielinski said the group is open to everyone, even students lacking confidence in vocal skills.

“There’s probably going to be a range of abilities and of experiences in that group,” he said.

Singing Sooners is set to focus on a variety of music, ranging from men’s and women’s glee club to popular songs and show tunes.

“We’re going to focus on a more popular repertoire, but a big portion will be OU spirit songs,” said Mark Lucas, co-director of the choir.

“The Singing Sooners will definitely have a popular flavor to it in their songs,” Zielinski said.

Zielinski said he hopes students will “catch the Sooner spirit” by learning spirit songs, melodies he believes are rich in history and can be used as a way to reach out to the entire campus.

“What could be better to a true OU student than singing Sooner fight songs?” said Emma Krivohlavek, piano senior.

She was in last year’s OU Women’s Choir and said she plans to be a part of Singing Sooners.

“It’s been really interesting to see other people that have an interest in music that aren’t music majors,” Krivohlavek said.

She said prospective choir members can expect to have a lot of fun and make new friends.

Lucas said, “[Singing Sooners will] provide an opportunity for excellence in singing as well as an opportunity for people from all aspects of the campus to come together.”

Some of the group’s planned performances include halftime at the OU vs. Texas A&M University football game on Nov. 14 and various holiday concerts.
