They hope you will join them in celebrating their anniversary as the chorus, supported by their wonderful piano accompanist, Will Vanderburg, transports you across the years with an array of selections that will elicit fond memories and move you with their beauty, joy and sheer delight. Among the selections will be American Heroes, A Salute to the Armed Forces featuring the anthems of the Navy, Air Force, Marines and Army, "Defying Gravity" from the musical "Wicked," a medley from the Broadway show, "Jersey Boys," including "Oh What a Night," "Stay" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," a medley of "Chattanooga Choo Choo," "On the Atchison," "Topeka and the Santa Fe" and "For the Beauty of the Earth" and "Prayer of the Children."
The chorus is pleased and proud to, once again, be joined by the Jackson Civic Youth Chorus, a select group of seventh to ninth graders from Jackson. The youth chorus will perform selections on their own and will also join the civic chorus in the finale selection.
The Jackson Civic Chorus, sponsored by the Jackson Council for the Arts, is a community chorus comprised of residents of Jackson and surrounding communities.
