Attention singers

Once again, the Lake Region Community Chorus is looking for singers in all ranges to participate in its 2024 December winter concert. The chorus has about 60 members who come from local towns in the Lake Region. The group is open to everyone and there are no auditions, but some experience singing in a chorus may be useful. Rehearsals are on Monday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Twitchell Chapel at Bridgton Academy in North Bridgton. Registration is at 5:45 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 9, followed by the first rehearsal. Another registration will take place on Monday, Sept. 16. The $25 registration fee helps cover the cost of the music. For further information contact chorus conductor Jan Jukkola at 647-2584 or musicsix@cox.net or visit lakeregioncommunitychorus.org.
