Section leaders represent the "Community" in the Community Chorus: From the left: soprano Beth Ray of Landrum, bass Sam Molinas of Rutherfordton, tenor Greaton Sellers of Saluda and alto Connie Cedervall of Landrum. The group prepares for the weekly rehearsal of some 100 singers who also come from Tryon, Gowensville, Mill Spring, Inman, Campobello and Columbus. Under the first-time directorship of Mark Schweizer the chorus will provide a concert composed of favorite and new Christmas carols and ditties, none of which have been performed locally before. Bongos and congas, violin, flute, wind chimes and even bagpipes and native American flute will add to the seasonal sounds. The concert will be Sunday, Dec. 11, 3 p.m. at the Polk County High School auditorium. Proceeds support the Rotary Club of Tryon Scholarship Fund. (photo submitted by Art Brown)
