Choir director Franklin Smith says that the junior high Concert Choir and the Honor Choir are working hard preparing for a concert Oct. 18. Their program will contain many different styles of music from Spanish folk songs to classical and even movie themes. Admission is free, but donations for the choir program will be accepted.
