We had such a wonderful turnout yesterday for our first rehearsal of the Christmas program. IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO JOIN. Our next rehearsal is Monday, September 21st at 7 pm at the Jane Parnell Performance Hall. We typically meet each Monday at 7 pm. No auditions required - just a love of singing.

🎤 Member Spotlight 🎤

Meet one of our wonderful sopranos, Sherry Smith! She’s been part of the Community Choir since the very first Christmas concert in 2022 and loves every minute of it.

If you know her, you know her go-to drink: Sonic unsweetened tea with extra lemon (all day, every day!). ☀️

Her heart belongs to the old gospel songs she grew up singing as a preacher’s kid—she knows them by heart and they still move her every time. You’ll often catch her singing without even realizing it.

Favorite treats? A McDonald’s ice cream cone (a Monday night tradition) and movie theater popcorn loaded with butter and salt.

She says her favorite artists are her fellow choir members, but also loves Carrie Underwood’s gospel and Anthem Lights.

After a long and meaningful career as an RN—starting when minimum wage was just $2/hour—she’s retiring April 30 and looking forward to a new chapter. Up next: more reading (especially history), piano, travel, and a dream trip to the Holy Land.

Fun fact: she’s also a proud “cat lady” to two ragdolls she inherited from her mother. 🐾
