Upper Country Singers start rehearsals

Upper Country Singers will begin rehearsals for their annual Christmas performance on Monday, Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Midvale School Community room. 

 Any interested singers are encouraged to join. No auditions or previous choir experience is required. The group has been in existence in one form or another for many years in the Upper Country.  

 However, choir members now travel from Council, Mesa, Indian Valley, Cambridge, Midvale, and Weiser.

 This year’s theme is “Joyful Expectation.” The choir will sing arrangements of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” “It’s Beginning to Look Like Christmas” and “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” along with many others. 

 The concert is scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 8 at 3 p.m. The Upper Country Children’s Choir will also begin rehearsals on Friday, Sept. 13 at 4 p.m. at the Midvale Community Baptist Church. This rehearsal will include a parent planning meeting for the season’s rehearsal schedule. The children will sing alongside the adult choir, and also perform their own dances and songs.

 For questions, contact Debbie Warren at (208) 866-7583 or at dananddebwarren@gmail.com or the Children’s Choir director, Laurel Sherman at (208) 550-2675.
