It’s time for the WTG Fall Youth Chorus to begin. The chorus offers kids ages seven (six if you are a former participant) to fourteen an opportunity to get on the stage, sing a solo, duet or trio, learn some dance moves and have lots of fun! The kids need to be able to attend weekly rehearsals, memorize music and/or lines and follow directions. Director, John Hinckely, is working on another great holiday show.
Rehearsals will be on Sundays from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. We will again be offering the opportunity for kids ages ten to fourteen to be part of a second group. This group will be performing some additional musical numbers at the concert and will rehearse from 6:30 PM to 7:00 PM after the rehearsal for the larger group. Membership in the larger group is required. We will continue to offer opportunities for solos and duets that have become the norm on the WTG stage. It promises to be a fall filled with music, fun and excitement. Please join us! Rehearsals begin on Sunday, September 19, 2010 at the Burton Leavitt Theatre. There is a $35 registration fee. For more information call 423-2245.
