ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRESENTATION

HOJA has performed more than 2000 elementary school presentations over the last ten years, and we have tailored our presentation to be appropriate for and enjoyed by all students from kindergarten to grade eight. We will leave your students not only energized, laughing, smiling, and excited but also inspired and motivated. HOJA will be the highlight of your students’ year!

What Does HOJA Do?
  • High energy ‘modern’ acappella: using only live human voices to sound like a full band. Students often cannot believe the full-band sound the group generates using only three voices.
  • We not only sing and harmonize, we also beatbox and mimic percussion and a variety of instruments.
  • We deliver an outstanding performance filled with great harmonies, lots of energy, fun choreography, laughs, surprises, and audience participation that definitely gets their blood pumping.
  • We perform fun, popular, and memorable music that crosses all genres and styles: I’m a Believer, YMCA, 500 Miles, Lean on Me, Last Saskatchewan Pirate, plus an assortment of modern songs currently on the radio.
  • We are positive role models for your students.
  • We present an inspiring and motivating message to your students and encourage them to shoot for their dreams regardless of obstacles and peer pressure.
  • We encourage and inspire your students to become involved in music and a variety of other positive activities.
HOJA also offers these unique benefits to you as a presenter:
  • 55 minute presentation (including the message and Q&A) to take up as little class time as possible.
  • Affordable, bottom-line fee including travel and sound system so there are no hidden costs to you.
  • The show and message are tailored to your entire student body, and we ensure that the older students feel that the show is geared specifically for them as much as the younger students.
  • Risk free: we will return your performance fee if you are not satisfied. Guaranteed.
We will impact your students in these three important ways:
  1. Our show is engaging and entertaining with a lot of student interaction and involvement.

We are very proud of the fact that many schools regard us as the best presentation they have ever brought in, and have brought us in again and again, to the delight of their students.

It is always a pleasure to have HOJA grace us with their gift of music. The group has visited our school for the past five years and each year we have been impressed with the musicianship and showmanship of the young men. The routine is changed yearly and their professionalism shows through year after year.”
- Elaine Groenenboom, Music Teacher, Bertha Kennedy Catholic School, St. Albert, AB

“HOJA is the best performance I have ever booked at Eastbrook School in over 30 years. The singers are extremely talented and keep the audience engaged the entire time. It is unbelievable what they can do and all without instruments. They are personable, friendly and take the time with the children. I have the utmost respect for the HOJA performers, not only their talent but their obvious dedication to give the best performance possible. I am so pleased with HOJA that I have booked them again for the fall of the upcoming school year - 3rd year in a row! Happy children are children that will learn and HOJA is part of that learning!”
- Clive Joseph, Principal, Eastbrook School, Brooks, AB

“The young singers performed with a level of infectious energy not often seen in school performances. In my many years of watching performances in elementary schools, I don’t recall one I enjoyed as much as HOJA’s presentation.”
- George Finkbeiner, Kennedy Elementary, Grimshaw, AB

“For the past several years we have chosen to have HOJA perform in our school. Each performance has been a huge success! They always change their show each year so that there is something to look forward to. Their antics have all of us laughing and the students talking for days.”
- Kerry Van Vaals, SRC Coordinator, Watrous Elementary, Watrous, SK

“Rarely, in over 25 years, have I seen the audience respond like they do to the energy of the HOJA performers.”
- Manny Bublitz, Principal, Bradner Elementary, Abbotsford, BC

We also pride ourselves on the fact that presenters regard us as among the most professional, respectful, and easy to work with performers they have ever brought in.

“As always, this group of young men arrives with energy and enthusiasm. They arrived early, set up quickly, and were ready to ‘rock’ by 9:00 am. It always amazes me that regardless of time of day or where we are situated in the tour schedule, the group puts on a show that is fresh and energetic.”
- Sandra Mills, Vice-Principal, Rocanville School, Rocanville, SK

“The following adjectives come to mind: Organized – they were in and out of the building in a minimum amount of time and without disruption, Educational – took the time to effectively describe what it is they do and were respectful of the school’s student behavior policies, Tasteful – took the time to adjust lyrics to match the age level of the audience, Motivational – had the audience involved from the opening selection, Energetic – performed for over an hour with the same high intensity, and Personable – each singer clearly connected with all those they came in contact with.”
- G. Keys, Principal, Terry Fox Elementary, Abbotsford, BC

“The level of maturity HOJA showed when one of our students asked a very inappropriate question impressed me. They diffused the question without the student being embarrassed and in a way that was appropriate for a K-9 crowd. Furthermore, HOJA was very polite and professional at all times in our school.”
- Rob Tomlinson, Vice Principal, Major Pratt School, Russell, MB
