We have been singing for over 40 years! If you are interested in singing in the choir, please message us today! We have two major concerts per year, during our spring and winter seasons. The winter concert consists of choir settings of hymns, carols, and Christmas themed works. The spring concert has included pop music, movie songs, gospel and spirituals. We have also given the regional premier pe

There are many good reasons to sing in a choir, one of them is to get to know some really wonderful people! Some of our altos were able to get together to have lunch with Brenda A., who was part of this choir from the very first year (1971!), but was unable to make it to the 40th Anniversary Concert. Missy had to leave earlier than the rest of us, so here is a photo she sent to be included. Left to right in group photo: Lois, Brenda, Anna, Jane, Linda, Melissa, Cenzi.

Many thanks to Barbara Spink for taking these photos at FCCs 40th Anniversary Concert, May 17th.
