Community Choir getting ready for Christmas
 |
| Vickie Blake Thompson will once again conduct the Bonners Ferry Community Choir's Christmas concerts. |
This non-auditioned community choir is free to any who would like to participate; high school age through senior citizens.
Middle students are welcome if their parent sings in the choir as well.
The choir will rehearse at Trinity Lutheran each Tuesdayy until its umpteenth annual Christmas Concert series, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday, December 21 and 3 p.m. Sunday, December 23.
The choir has presented Christmas concerts since 1978 and perhaps even earlier, no one seems to remember the first one!
This year the theme for the concerts is "Christmas Across America."
Conductor is Vicki Blake Thompson, who has conducted the choir since 1997. Accompanist is Barbara Nelson.
Each year CDs are made of each part, so even those who don't read music well can join in the singing. Often times, college students who come home for Christmas will learn the music on their own and join the choir for the final week of rehearsals.
It is truly a community celebration and a long standing tradition for Bonners Ferry.
