| The youth singing group HOLeY Jeans will hold its annual kick-off concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 6 at the Barrow-Civic Theatre. Along with debuting their new songs for the 2025-26 season, the concert serves as a major fundraiser for the group, which offers community service through music throughout the region. It is also an introduction to their concert season theme, which this year is Journey through the Season with HOLeY Jeans. From spring's blossoms to winter's wonderland, this show will bring the magic of the year to life. "The kids have been working hard to learn a variety of songs that represent either spring, summer, fall or winter so that they can take the audience on a little journey through the calendar," said director Martha Heise. "There are fun tunes, serious numbers, and, as always, a patriotic song." |   |
For nearly three decades HOLeY Jeans has offered area youth in grades kindergarten through 12th a place to get together and sing.
This year's group has 35 members who attended schools in Venango, Clarion, Crawford, and Mercer counties.
Throughout the year they offer community service through music by performing at events, such as Applefest and Oil City Light Up Night, at various churches throughout the area, as well as retirement communities and nursing homes.

"During a typical community concert, the choir sings anywhere from three to six songs," Heise said. "Our annual concert at the Barrow-Civic is the one time a year the audience gets to hear our entire playlist in one performance." The group also takes time to honor senior and third year members, as well as recognize loved ones who have passed away in the past year.
Money from the concert is used to purchase music and other things needed to give concerts throughout the year. Along with the proceeds from ticket sales, money is raised through a basket raffle in the lobby before the show and during intermission.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at barrowtheatre.org or at the box office during regular theatre business hours or immediately before the show.
