It’s been nearly three years since the Wicked Covid Witch descended on Chisholm Trail Chorus, just as they were heading to a regional singing contest. But the group, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, were determined to continue. Learn how during their upcoming show: “It Takes Courage…And A Great Pair of Shoes” on Saturday, Nov. 19, at the Cultural Activities Center (CAC) 3011 North 3rd St., Temple.
A silent auction, benefitting the chorus, opens at 3 p.m. in the Saulsbury Gallery. The show begins at 4 p.m in the Mayborn Auditorium. Tickets are available through the CAC website, www.CACarts.org. Reserved seats are $20; $25 at the door. Guest performers are the Belton High School girl’s choral group, HARMONY.
This a cappella, 4-part harmony musical production tells the modern story of how courage, heart and brains (along with a pair of ruby slippers) can defeat the Wicked Covid Witch and bring live music back to our communities.
Chisholm Trail Chorus of Sweet Adelines International is a women’s a cappella chorus that presents jazz vocals, choreographed pop tunes and award-winning harmony to the community through weekly education classes and performances throughout Central Texas.
