The Community Chorus will make a return appearance during the Smithville Fiddlers Jamboree and Crafts Festival Friday evening, July 5.

The chorus will be performing a variety of patriotic songs featuring children and adults alike.

“I think it’s a wonderful program. Of course we always honor and pay tribute to the military. The theme of the program is “Which Way America?” It will include a performance of “What the World Needs Now is Love”, a good hymn called “Keep Walking”, and “Love Train”, a song from the 1970’s. We’ll be singing “Everything is Beautiful” and “Jesus Loves the Little Children of the World”, wonderful children’s music along with Mary Ann Puckett’s cloggers and other children from the community, and our Tennessee state song “Rocky Top”,” said Chorus Director Fay Fuqua.

“The program includes a lot of good narration as we honor the military with “There’s Something About a Soldier, “A Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere”, and the military songs with narration saying I am a soldier. I never sought the political arena. I’ve never sought fame but I would die for you and you may never know my name. I think it is going to be a great program and we’re excited about it,” said Fuqua.

“We have the best time practicing and getting ready. We enjoy bringing this program to everyone at the Jamboree and we feel like our local folks really enjoy it. We hope everyone will come out,” said Tecia Puckett Pryor, a member of the community chorus who will serve as narrator of the program this year.

The performance will begin at approximately 6 p.m. on Friday, July 5 from the Jamboree stage as part of the opening ceremonies. You can also catch a rehearsal performance on Thursday evening, July 4 at Evins Park behind city hall and across from the post office at 6 p.m. followed by the Sassy Smithville Stompers.

Bring your own chair and come enjoy seeing our local folks perform on Thursday, July 5 at Evins Park.
