Women’s choir festival

women FHN choir women get the chance to amaze an audience of hundreds on Oct. 27.

Women’s Fest is a non-competitive showcase of local school choirs. All the choirs will rehearse at Francis Howell Central and later hold a concert that night at 7 p.m. The event was set up by the choir directors in the Francis Howell School District to give the choirs an opportunity to learn from a guest director.

North’s choir will be working with Dr. Jim Henry, a musical director from UMSL to prepare songs to sing altogether. Each school also prepares their own songs and all perform at the concert in the evening.
“There is no judging. It’s more of a learning experience,” choir director Lorraine Smith said.

Although it is a relatively small event with only five to six schools, singers still enjoy the experience.
“I look forward to hearing all the other schools sing,” sophomore choir member Samantha Schambach said.
