2009 Sing Song Hosts and Hostesses
During the early years of Sing Song, an emcee created transitions between group acts, but in 1967 a host and hostess joined the show to sing and banter between acts, allowing time for groups to transition on and off stage. Eventually, the roles of host and hostess grew to be as much a part of the musical entertainment of Sing Song as the group acts themselves. The number of hosts and hostesses went to four in 1971 -- two men and two women. Now, the number is flexible -- typically between five and seven depending on how a panel of judges from the Abilene community evaluate the blend of the voices. This year, three men and three women comprise your host and hostess team: Coy Greathouse, Adrienne Linge, Jessica Patterson, Donovan Plummer, Jennifer Rasco and Sam Souder.
Adrienne, senior vocal music education major from San Antonio, has been a part of Sing Song since her freshman year. She has also been active in University Chorale, A Cappella Chorus, Freshman Follies, Summit (Lectureship) Praise Team, Opera Workshop, Tri-Collegiate Opera, Sigma Theta Chi, and Mu Phi Epsilon (Music Honors Fraternity). She is the daughter of Curt (M. Div ‘79) and Barry (Beaman) Linge.
Jessica, senior nursing and musical theatre major from Winchester, Va., has been part of several ACU Theatre Department productions, including “Singin’ in the Rain,” “Little Shop of Horrors,” “Pride’s Crossing,” “A Grand Night for Singing,” “Seussical,” “Jane Eyre,” “Kiss Me Kate,” “The Triumph of Love” and “Love’s Labours Lost.” She also has been involved in ACU’s culture show “Ethnos” for two years; member of Alpha Psi for three years and vice-president of the Student Nurses’ Association for two years.
