Mark your calendars and join us for Spring Sing 2025, "Rise," April 10-12!
Now on the second weekend of April each year.
We have finished 100 years of Harding and 50 years of Spring Sing. It is time to start something new. It is time to Rise. It is time for a new generation to rise and let their voice be heard. It is time to rise above the challenges that face us and achieve our goals. We seek to elevate the excellent, celebrate the heroes, inspire the intellect, and raise the roof for new music and artists. It is time to engage and celebrate our purpose, our joy, our service, our spirit, and our faith. This is not the time to hide – now is the time to Rise!
Spring Sing is a musical revue. Our musical revue format allows nearly 1000 students from over 20 social clubs on campus to take part in the annual production. Over 11,000 people from all over the country and all around the world will come to Searcy, AR to see the production on the second weekend in April. Spring Sing at Harding University does not make money for the university. It is designed to be a showcase of campus talent in a fast-moving professional atmosphere. Our production standards match shows you might see at a theme park or entertainment venue. The difference is we use 1000 performers versus 60 performers. Theatre and Music professionals work with students to enhance each part of the production.
Spring Sing offers a unique chance to serve those outside the campus. Social clubs compete for cash prizes to be donated in their name to charitable organizations. The clubs engage in service projects for their selected charity. Alumni see clubs giving their best to share with those who need our help. Prospective students see what matters most - not glory for self, but comfort and concern for others. Spring Sing is also unique in that the club directors have a special award they vote on each year - The Spirit Award - given to the club show that their peers believe has best demonstrated the spirit of Jesus Christ throughout the rehearsal and performance process.
Clubs compete during judged performances to determine winners in four individual categories and the John H. Ryan Sweepstakes Award. Based on performance, the prize money is awarded to the charity of their choice, resulting in nearly $7,000 given each year.
