They are joining us at 7:00 pm Veteran’s Day, November 11th at St. Joseph Church, 404 W Lawrence St, Appleton.

The choruses will perform selections from individual programs scheduled this year. They will also perform as a combined chorus. A salute to our country’s veterans will be included in the show.

Because of the special nature of this concert, no tickets are required. In place of an admission charge, free-will donations are accepted at the door to help support future performances of the chorus, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
