The FHN Choir’s annual Dinner Concert is being held in the commons on April 24 and 25. It is open to anyone interested
and tickets cost $20.
“It’s just a fun concert because kids get to do solos [that they prepare],” choir teacher Lorraine Smith said. “It’s also a fundraiser for our music program.”
The concert will include performances from Knightsound, Concert Choir and both Treble Choirs. Singing will not be their only task for the evening.
“We’re not just performing for the people,” sophomore Marita Shaw said. “We are like their waiters and waitresses.”
The show has a Broadway feel to it because the songs are all chosen from a variety of different musicals.
“Since we are singing Broadway, it makes [the audience] feel like they’re at Broadway, and it’s our gift to them,” Shaw said. “At the same time, we’re giving them dinner and a show.”
The students are preparing for the concert during their choir hours. Most solo singers have voice coaches for extra help.
“We learn different parts of the song,” senior Rebecca Brooks said. “We pretty much practice all the time.”
Choir members are anticipating the event and feel it will be a successful show.
“[You will get] entertainment, exposure to Broadway, a good meal, and an evening out,” Smith said.
