The Middleport Community Choir invites you to a Choral Invitational
Saturday, October 23, 2010
What is an invitational?
Much like an All-County or All-State Choral performance, an invitational is when a group of selected choirs and individuals prepare the same music, and then join together for an all day rehearsal,
followed by an evening performance. The Invitational brings communities together in one voice.
Each group that participates will also have the opportunity to perform 1-2 songs independently, with their own director and accompanist if they desire.
The majority of the performance, however, will consist of the complete ensemble with the guest conductor,
We would love for you and/or your choral group to join us!
