The WCHS choir will be howling from the depths of Cumberland Caverns just in time for the spooking season.
The choir will be singing Halloween favorites such as “Monster Mash,” “Thriller,” and “Grim Grinning Ghosts” during a special concert brewing for Oct. 22.
“They sound awesome,” said WCHS choir director Kennette Dixon. “We’ll be singing some Halloween songs and some non-Halloween songs. This will be our select ensemble of 45 students, which is the group we’re taking to the Disney Candlelight Processional in Orlando.”
The event has been dubbed Choir in the Cave and it’s a fundraiser for the Disney trip. It’s the second straight year the WCHS choir has auditioned for, and been selected to participate in, the prestigious Candlelight Processional.
The Morrison Elementary choir will be the special guest of the WCHS choir for the Cumberland Caverns event. The two choirs will treat visitors to a spine-chilling performance in the haunting confines of the Volcano Room, the famous home of Bluegrass Underground.
Guests are encouraged to wear a costume as choir members will be dressed for the occasion.
Tickets can be purchased exclusively through Cumberland Caverns until Oct 14, or while supplies last. Tickets for the show are $10. A combo package that includes the show and a tour of the cave is available for $22.
Choir in the Cave is set for Saturday, Oct. 22, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Cumberland Caverns can be reached at 668-4396.
