Stafford Regional Choral Society performed these three SATB pieces this Friday from last July 3rd’s concert at the Chamber of Commerce awards banquet in Fredericksburg. As our planned single rehearsal got snowed out both Wednesday and Thursday, our backstage warmup had to suffice.

I Hear America Singing, Andre J Thomas, quoting the spriritual Walk Together Children
America the Beautiful, Bates – Ward – arr Meader
a medley, Armed Forces – The Pride of America, arr Gilpin & Clark, which includes bits of each of the five service songs followed by the Star Spangled Banner

Conducted by Barbara Perry, accompanied on electric piano by Katie Haywood. About 40 members participated.
