The Harvard Krokodiloes, Harvard University’s oldest a cappella singing group, will bring their signature blend of musical excellence and humor to the SouthCoast with a special performance at the Old Rochester Regional High School Auditorium on Saturday, April 25 from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
This special event will also highlight a hometown connection: Eddie Gonet, a Fairhaven native and Old Rochester Regional High School alumnus, is a current member of the Harvard Krokodiloes. His return to the ORR stage marks a full-circle moment, showcasing his journey from local student to performer in one of Harvard’s most celebrated musical groups.
“We’re proud to welcome the Harvard Krokodiloes to ORRHS for a night that celebrates both exceptional talent and the strength of our local community,” said Principal Micahel Devoll. “Having Edward Gonet IV return to the stage as one of our Bulldog alums makes this event especially meaningful for our students and families.”
The performance will serve as a fundraiser for the Old Rochester Ambassadors, a student organization dedicated to fostering leadership, community engagement, and citizenship among ORRHS students.
Founded in 1946, the Harvard Krokodiloes are renowned for their energetic performances, rich harmonies, and international tours spanning over 20 countries every summer. Their visit to Old Rochester promises an evening of entertainment for all ages, featuring a mix of classic hits, contemporary favorites, and comedic flair.
On his travels to over thirty-five countries, Gonet stated he is “blessed to have spoken with and learned from people of all walks of life and cultures through performances and experiences.” Despite all of his travels, he says, “there’s no place like home, performing for my favorite audience of friends, family, and the incredible Southcoast Community.” After graduating from Harvard, Gonet will travel on one last world tour before attending Georgetown Law in Washington, D.C.
“Even though they are a world-renowned group, I love how the Krodiloes are still making time to come back to ORR again.” said Luke Pierre on behalf of the AmbassadOR Club. “This is a great opportunity to both showcase a world-class singing group and raise money for our school.”
Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Ambassadors’ programs.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for students. Tickets can be purchased at the door, but please reserve them through this link: tinyurl.com/kroksorr.
