2012 – Scary Sixty Seconds
The night was dark, as the ominous sound of clanging greeted us from the gloom of the darkened concert hall. Was it the ghost of concerts past? No, it was the Southern Village chimes striking the hour, as we gathered for our Scary! Sixty Seconds Contest and Music Celebration!
The audience had a great time listening to all seven scary pieces composed by members of Harmonia, in honor of Halloween:
- The Seal of the Ohricalcos by Michael Jon Bennett
- B3dBug5 by aBe Lange
- Midnight with Bela by Julie Harris
- Death’s Door by Grace Gollmar
- No Chance of Escape by Charles Higgins
- Morning Moodswings by Noah Balamucki
- Where When How by Gabriel John Loesch Crist
And the winners were ….
1st place – Morning Moodswings
2nd place – No Chance of Escape
3rd place – Death’s Door
Congratulations to Noah, Charles and Grace!
