Most everyone knows the Minnesingers can sing and put on a great show. For years they have held concerts that enthrall. But they can bring home the bacon, too.
The annual Minnesingers spring show debuted Saturday night to a full crowd at the regional high school Performing Arts Center. An all-male a cappella group and tribute to British rock from Herman's Hermits to the Spice Girls were among the highlights. The final show is Sunday at 3 p.m.

On Saturday evening, the Minnesinger parent group hosted its first annual mid-winter ball and gala at the Harbor View Hotel.

Last spring the Minnesingers high school chorus traveled to Croatia to perform. They have also been to Lithuania and all over Europe throughout the years. And each holiday season they travel, too, but a much shorter distance from the high school — they head to Edgartown to give their annual holiday concert.
When the Neighborhood Convention meets this month the Minnesingers will present a holiday program preview. The convention will meet at 11 a.m. on Dec. 3 at Trinity United Methodist Church at the Camp Ground in Oak Bluffs.
The Minnesingers have returned from their 10-day trip to Croatia with a new show for Vineyard audiences. On Saturday, May 4, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 5 at 3 p.m. they will perform their spring show Roots, which celebrates the African-American contribution of composers and performers, at the performing arts center at the regional high school.
