The Civic Chorus recently had "A Grand Night For Singing" as they performed their spring concert on May 20th. The chorus opened the concert with three verses of the "Star-Spangled Banner." Many audience members had never heard more than the first verse, making it a unique beginning to an eclectic concert featuring several solos/duets in addition to the chorus songs.
This was the program:
- Star-Spangled Banner (3 verses)
- How Can I Keep From Singing?
- In Pride of May
- Stormy Weather (vocal solo, Nelle Taggart)
- First Arabesque (piano solo, Sara Maisey)
- Shenandoah
- Let Me Call You Sweetheart
- It's a Grand Night For Singing
- Edelweiss (vocal solo, Christine Hinckley)
- Dream a Little Dream of Me (vocal solo, Kirk Young)
- Pineapple Rag (piano duet, Sara Maisey and Nelle Taggart)
- You Are the New Day
- Wyoming
