The Cowley College choir and band members teamed to perform its fall concert in dedication to their friend and classmate, the late Hunter Stage, Wednesday in the Robert Brown Theatre.

Stage passed away on September 7.

“The choir has felt his absence through every rehearsal and yet has worked very hard to focus on making this concert a celebration of Hunter’s life with music,” Cowley College Director of Vocal Music Lindsay Allen said. “He is greatly missed.”

The choir performed songs in a fall theme that included “Alice’s Theme” from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Jabberwocky from Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, and a take on Shakespeare’s Double, Double Toil and Trouble from Macbeth while the CC Singers thrilled the audience with a rendition of “I Put a Spell On You” from the popular Halloween movie Hocus Pocus, while also performing the James Bond Theme from the motion picture Dr. No, and Remember Me from Pixar Animation’s Coco.

Cowley College music instructor Stephen Butler served as an accompanist on piano.
