We are again excited to present an outdoor informal performance, free for our community’s enjoyment and our singing pleasure.

Sunday, June 6, 3:30 to 4:00, we will return to the Riverwalk Amphitheater in West Columbia (Gervais Street Bridge and Meeting Street).  Come early and you can catch our warm-ups at 3:00.  Concrete seating so bring a chair if desired. Music for the whole family. You could make it a picnic and take a walk down along the river, too.
