Do You Love to Sing?
 
Attention, children currently in grades 2-5!

The La Porte County Symphony Orchestra is forming the LCSO Children's Chorus.  
 
There will be two concerts in the coming season that will include this chorus during orchestra performances.  Matt Nelson, chorus director, will give the singers instruction in basic vocal technique as they learn about choral singing and prepare for the November 14, 2009 Pops Classique concert and the April 17, 2010 Pops Concert.
 
Rehearsals are on Tuesdays beginning September 22, 2009, 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm at the Agape Church, 1601 "I" Street, La Porte Indiana.  Regular rehearsal attendance is required in order to perform.
 
There is a $10 registration fee, payable the night of the first rehearsal, to help cover the cost of music.  Due to generous support of the community, scholarship money is available so that no one will be turned away.
