| Nov 23, 2005 - In a news article written by Julie Young: Vicki Hendley, a 1991 Scecina graduate offered an early holiday present for more than 350 students, graduates, family and friends when she treated everyone to a performance on Nov. 23 in Scecina's gymnasium. In addition, Hendley was accompanied by Scecina's own guitar group and backed up on vocals by the school's Mass Choir. Hendley's performance included a rendition of "Little by Little" which was featured on her CD produced by her former group, the Gorilla Dance Band. Currently, Hendley is in pre-production for her first solo CD which she hopes will be in stores by mid-2006. "I have waited for this for a long time," said choir member Tyler Key, noting that he has become a big fan of Hendley's since hearing her sing. "She's my idol." "It was great getting to sing with her finally," said junior Chris Young who has been familiar with Hendley's work for a long time. Hendley said that she wasn't sure what to expect in terms of the performance, but was impressed with the skills shown by the student groups. "It was great to be able to come home," she said. "Everywhere I looked there were memories." PICTURES FROM THIS EVENT CAN BE FOUND ON THE "PHOTOS" PAGE |
