One Voice Chapter

Harmony Heartland, Region #4 • Indianapolis, Ind. www.facebook.com/OneVoiceIndy Charter Date: Sept. 14, 2018 Team Leader: Lori Petrucciani Director: Molly Huffman

What happens when a group of friends have one chorus vision? They come together to create one voice. One Voice began as an idea between three friends: Lori Petrucciani, Molly Huffman and Bev Miller. After years of competing in choruses, they wanted to focus on their community, and the Open Division provided them an opportunity to practice musical excellence while keeping their repertoire fresh and fun.

Molly Huffman, One Voice’s director, explained: “We missed that. It’s very refreshing to just perform from the heart.”

One Voice completed the chartering process in a little over a year, thanks to the Steps Program and to the support of Region #4. According to Lori, “The Steps Program was so simple and so easy to follow that it was basically a no-brainer for us to use. It’s definitely something that anyone who is forming a prospective chapter can use.” She also advised potential new choruses to “lean on the experience within the region” as a guide.

What’s next for One Voice? Growth and education. “Our goals are to perform as much as possible, to learn as much fresh music as possible and to grow,” Molly said. The idea of community and togetherness is pivotal to One Voice, she added.
