This group is celebrating 40 years of entertaining audiences in central Indiana and all around the state. All former members of the group have been invited to participate in both shows.
After a morning practice, the choir will sing and even do a little choreography. A highlight of the show will be a number in which the returning members join forces with this year's group. The 2007-08 group will do a special tribute to the “Swing Choirs of the past” as well as perform music in a wide variety of musical styles.
Sponsors with complimentary passes may trade them for tickets at the door. For others, the admission prices are $4 for adults and $2 for students.
