Community Chorus to be Featured at Fiddlers Jamboree

The Community Chorus will make a return appearance during the Smithville Fiddlers Jamboree and Crafts Festival Friday evening
With the theme “What the World Needs Now is Love”, the chorus will be performing a variety of patriotic songs with a special tribute to veterans, particularly disabled veterans. Again this year, adults and children alike will be singing in the chorus with some clogging as well.
“To open the program we’ll have a fanfare of American patriotic music. This is always a high time with the audience participating. Hopefully by that time there will have been one thousand flags passed out in the audience. The AmVets will be helping us with that and we truly appreciate their help. And another person in town anonymously gave a thousand flags,” Faye Fuqua, Chorus Director told WJLE Monday.
“A real important part of the program is recognizing and paying tribute to veterans. There may be service men who are still serving (in the crowd). This year we’re going to include (in the tribute) a recognition of those who are disabled. There will be something really special coming at that time so we encourage all veterans to come out and help us celebrate you,” said Fuqua.
The program begins at approximately 6 p.m. on Friday from the Jamboree stage. You can also catch a rehearsal performance on Thursday evening on the steps of city hall at around 5:30 p.m.
