Warren County High School seniors practiced their graduation ceremony Thursday morning at Nunley Stadium.

With rain in the forecast, the prevailing question is will WCHS graduation take place Friday at 7 p.m. as planned, or be postponed till Saturday?

Director of Schools Grant Swallows says he will make a decision by 5 p.m. Friday. 

The outdoor ceremony will take place at Nunley Stadium with no attendance restrictions in place so visitors can pack the stadium to full capacity. If the ceremony is postponed, the makeup date is Saturday night at 7 p.m.

WCHS graduate Dalton Ashmore says he plans to enjoy himself when he walks across the stage to accept his diploma.

The next installment of The Park Theater’s Local Connection Concert Series is set to take center stage this Saturday, April 5 with Tito Gomez.

The Local Connection Concert Series put on The Park Theater focuses on talent sourced from the community. Gomez began his music career 14 years ago with a local band and has since released his solo album, “Lo Que Habia Soñado,” in 2016. He was born in Los Angeles, California but is well-known in the Warren County community as Victor Gomez.

Saturday night’s show will entail the singer-songwriter’s regional Mexican music, such as “El Oscar” or “Soy Edgar,” which is Gomez’s most popular song on Spotify.

The show begins at 7 p.m. and is expected to last approximately two hours. General admission is $15 and tickets can be purchased on Park Theater’s website, mcminnvilleparktheater.com, by phone at (931) 506-2787 or at its box office during normal business hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. If available, a limited number of tickets may be purchased at the door on the day of the event, while supplies last.
