Starting November 3rd, the First Congregational Church of Monson is hosting "Community Choir" for youths grades 6-12. Participants will have 5-6 performance opportunities including an end of the year showcase in May. This isn't just any choir. Alison Weber (Youth Music Director) and Erin Wallace (Assistant) strive to inspire and empower participants through relevant, current, and positive music. Participants do not need to have any musical background. Learning basics is built into the program. "We have a chance to be creative and offer a unique opportunity for kids' voices to be heard. We really want the kids to be a part of the creative process and to help build beautiful moments for listeners." states Wallace.
