Belles&Beau~ The Harding College Belles and Beaux, a musical perform
ing group, has enjoyed a seven-year history of performances
extending to United States Army base:> overseas and at home
and including programs in the immediate A!·kansas area and
southern states. Overseas tours are awarded through
petitive auditions by the National Music Council.
Dr. Kenneth Davis, Jr., director, organized the group in
1959 to travel for the USO and entertain at various bases. The
members are selcted from the 75-member A Cappella Chorus at
the school. All are full-time students. (continued under fold in)
In their first year of existence the singers were awarded a
two week tour of the Fifth Army in the Mid-Central States. In
1960, a year later, they won another tour , th'!s time to the Far
East. They spent five weeks touring and presenting programs
at bases in Japan, Korea, Hawaii, Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
Nine weeks in Europe followed in 1062, extending to Ger
many, France, Austria, Italy and Switzel'land. In 1964 the group
spent four weeks island-hopping in the Caribbean, including stops
in Panama, Puerto Rico, Cuba, San Salvadm and others.
Between tours the singers keep busy, pre.senting a showcase
a semester at the school, entertaining local civic groups and
making weekend trips in behalf of the school. This spring will
take them to Hunstville, Ala.; New Orleans and Shreveport, La.;
Houston, Tex.; Flint, Mich.; Miami, Fla.; West Monroe, La.; Pine
Bluff and Booneville, Ark.
The group never appears twice on the stage in the same
costume during a program. The elaborate array of attire, in
cluding red and white dinner jackets, gay vests, cowboy suits,
stately formals, frontier dresses and novelty costumes, is largely
designed and assembled by Dr. Davis' wife, Betty.
Continuously working on repertoire additions, the singers
assemble three times a week for rehearsal. They spend many
hours practicing every detail to produce a fast-moving showcase
of fine entertainment.
On stage • . before the glaring lights of the television studio or touring the nation, the Belles and Beaux always provide pleasing entertainment.
