On Friday, October 8, Vocal Impressions, the Polk County High School Chorus at Rogers Park will hold a benefit concert. The festivities will begin at 5 p.m. with karaoke and individual performances by some of the members of the group. At 6 p.m. the entire chorus will perform some of the numbers that they have been working on this semester followed by comedienne Pam Stone. Rounding out the evening will be a performance by Phil and Gaye Johnson.

The high school chorus is led by Anna Marie Kuether. Kuether and the students in Vocal Impressions are trying to raise money for outfits required for competitions and travel expenses. They are planning an upcoming trip to a music/choral festival where the students will not only compete with high school choral groups from across the country, but also participate in workshops to improve their vocal skills.

Pam Stone lives in Campobello and is an actress, comedienne, radio talk show host, dressage instructor, and columnist.

Phil and Gaye Johnson offer a blend of traditional and contemporary folk, bluegrass, and country music along with generous portions of Western swing, cowboy, blues, and old-time traditions. They are songwriters and storytellers, and travel from their home in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina to perform throughout the United States.
