Lake County Leader | UPDATED 4 days, 17 hours AGO
The Mission Valley Children's Choir resumed rehearsals on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at the Faith Lutheran Church, 406 5th Ave. SW in Ronan.
Refreshments and "together time" begin at 3:40 p.m., and rehearsals follow from 4:15-5:15 p.m. every Tuesday. The choir is open to children from the Mission Valley in grades 2-7. Refreshments will be served each week and participation is free of charge.
The choir is preparing for a concert in April and a mini tour to Missoula in May.
Cathy Gillhouse directs the choir, and Wendy Sanders accompanies the group.
According to Gillhouse, her goal is to expose the children to many different styles of music throughout the year, ranging from multicultural, spirituals, patriotic, sacred and seasonal music, folk songs and show tunes.
Gillhouse is the former Ronan School choir teacher and director of the Ronan Show Choir. She taught music for 41 years.
She has played harp for the University of Montana and has been in many Port Polson productions.
“We are very excited about continuing the choir for another session,” she says. “We hope it continues to be a fun and educational activity for Mission Valley children.”
