The Spanish Fork High School Choir Booster Club will present their annual Community Variety Show Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 7 p.m. in the Spanish Fork High School Auditorium. Price of admission is $5 per person or $20 per family. It promises to be an evening filled with fun for the whole family. Featured this year, by popular demand, are the stunning vocal talents of the Cadet Sisters. The Cadet Sisters have been singing together since 1990. Their singing career began during a church talent praise program in Chicago. The oldest daughter, Natalie, who was four years old at the time, sang with Tatiana, who was only three. As, the other sisters were born — Nadege, Michaelle and Melissa — and began to cultivate their voices, they joined their older siblings. Now their ages range from 11-17 and their music can be heard on Christian radio stations and Christian networks that reach every continent in the world. Whereas most female groups sing two or three-part harmony, the Cadet Sisters are unique in that they sing four to five-part harmony. They are probably the only female vocalist group singing this number of parts at their age. To accomplish this level of competence, they practice Monday-Friday as part of their home-school curriculum. In addition to their singing, they are currently working with the Bangladesh Christian School Sponsorship of America (BCSSA), a ministry that builds orphanages and schools for less fortunate children in Bangladesh and India. The Cadet Sisters were featured two years ago at the annual variety show and became an instant crowd pleaser. On Tuesday, Sept. 25, they will join the list of other Utah Valley talents. Proceeds from the evening will go to subsidize the cost of music, lighting, sound, costumes and tour expenses necessary to the SFHS choir program.
