This week, Wayne County Public Schools (WCPS) students will spread holiday cheer through festive songs and melodies at the annual district-wide Choral Showcase, with performances spanning over two nights (December 4-5) at the Dillard Middle auditorium. This is a change in venue from previous years due to construction.
This is the 23rd year for the annual holiday showcase. The showcase first began in 2001 with 12 schools participating. This year, students will be participating from 21 schools.
“The Choral Showcase is a highlight for our music and choral programs,” states Christine White, Title IV Enrichment Facilitator. “I appreciate the efforts of our students, teachers, and choral instructors who have spent the past few months preparing for this special two night event.”
The schedule for the participating schools is as follows:
Wednesday, December 4: Carver Heights Elementary, Eastern Wayne Elementary, Fremont Elementary, Greenwood Middle, Meadow Lane Elementary, North Drive Elementary, Northeast Elementary, Northwest Elementary, Rosewood Elementary, Rosewood Middle/High, Tommy’s Road Elementary
Thursday, December 5: Brogden Middle, Brogden Primary, Carver Elementary, Grantham Elementary, Mount Olive Middle, Southern Wayne High, Spring Creek Elementary, Spring Creek High, Spring Creek Middle.
Doors open at 5:45 p.m. and the programs will begin at 6:30 p.m. each night. Admission is $6.00 for each person, and all proceeds will benefit the choral programs at the participating schools. Children under five years old are admitted free of charge.
