Over the last few years, the Maplewood Glee Club has grown from a beloved community staple into one of North Jersey's most anticipated live music events — and this spring, they're celebrating in style. Good Vibrations will be held on Sunday, May 3, 2025, at 3:00 PM at the Columbia High School Auditorium in Maplewood, NJ — a new, larger venue made necessary by the club's swelling membership and growing audiences.

Now more than 70 members strong, the Glee Club marks its 80th anniversary with a concert that takes audiences on a musical journey from the 1940s to today. Expect upbeat, crowd-pleasing favorites spanning Broadway, rock, pop and more — from the sunny nostalgia of Lucky Old Sun and the timeless soul of Everyday People, to the high-energy anthems of Don't Stop Me Now and Viva La Vida, with a few surprises along the way.

"We've been doing this for 80 years and the energy has never been better," says Glee Club President Josh Adler. "This show is a celebration — of music, of this community, and of everything that's brought us together since 1946."

The concert will feature special guest performances by the New Jersey Youth Chorus Camerata Ensemble, and a solo set by this year's John A. Plumer Scholarship winner, a high school senior carrying their love of music beyond graduation.

Founded in 1946 by returning WWII veterans, the Maplewood Glee Club is sponsored by the Maplewood Department of Community Services and continues to unite the community through the power of song. For more information, visit www.maplewoodgleeclub.com or email info@maplewoodgleeclub.com.
