5. Student Thanks… “ I have been blessed and appreciated many times for my ability to lead singing at church and other events. I received those tools from Andrew Housholder.” -Peter Hartman HHS 1984 Celebrating Andrew Housholder, March 6, 2010
8. Memories of “Messiah” “ I remember Andy taking a group of us to the Messiah Sing In. Have been back many, many times since. Andy really gave me an appreciation for music and what I can accomplish if I commit my efforts to something greater than myself.” -Michael Strube Celebrating Andrew Housholder, March 6, 2010
9. Before “Glee” was on TV! “ Think of all of the teachers you have had in your life from grade school to post grad and then think of Andy Housholder, he tops them all! How fortunate were we to learn the lessons he had to offer while we were so young and impressionable. He built our confidence, character, and sense of teamwork all while instilling in us a love of making music that has now been passed to a new generation. The trip to England also was a top 10 lifetime event! I have many fond memories of all of the musical groups. However, Men’s Glee stands out as my favorite! I remember looking forward to practice and being sad when it was over, it was usually the highlight of the week, truly a special time.” -Jon Webel, HHS 1984 Celebrating Andrew Housholder, March 6, 2010
13. “ And He shall reign, and He shall reign, and He shall…” “ A guilty pleasure of mine is politely refusing the sheet music when it is handed out at Christmas Eve services when we sing “Hallelujah Chorus.” Mr. Housholder taught us to sing each of the other parts’ intros so they would have more punch. I know all four parts, and it makes me smile and think of him when after the service someone in front of me comments to me that I did a great job. Thanks Mr. H! I hope to continue to do you proud.” -Christine Fogarty Geiger, HHS 1984 Celebrating Andrew Housholder, March 6, 2010
18. Celebrating Andrew Housholder, March 6, 2010 An Evening with “The Countess” “ You are a special, special person in my memory bank! Tons and Tons of Love, Mary Schuster”
