They have invited longtime radio announcer Bobb Vergeils to be the master of ceremonies. The concert will offer a variety of songs including gospel, patriotic and pop music. Song selections will include music from the Beatles to 1962 pop song favorite "The Loco-Motion." The concert's title, "Razzle Dazzle," is taken from the Broadway musical, "Chicago."
"There's a good bit of humor in the show," said Dawn Seigneur, music director. "Over the years, I've gotten to know the personalities of the chorus. I've been directing the group for 23 years."
Founded in 1977, the River Raisin Chorus, a chartered chapter of Sweet Adelines International Chorus, has members spanning in age from women in their 30s to their 80s.
Women who can sing, stay in tune and blend their sound with others are encouraged to join the group. They rehearse from 7:15 pm to 9:45 p.m. at the Bible Fellowship Church on Telegraph, just south of Albain Road.
