Program

These ensembles will showcase virtuosic choral singing as a capstone to the year, including repertoire from diverse cultural perspectives alongside choral classics. We will reflect on the impact of the 2019 pandemic, pay musical tribute to former director of choral activities Douglas Amman, and honor our graduating seniors.

Please help this great cause for all of the residents of Muncie to come together after being shut up indoors from COVID. We need to have fun, communicate, and fellowship as one people. There will be live local music for all ages, free food, and fun for everyone!
