During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the upcoming holiday concert and spring performance organized by a local choral group. The holiday concert, scheduled for December, will feature a diverse selection of Christmas and holiday music, with a strong emphasis on traditional choral pieces.

Looking ahead to spring, the group plans to enhance their performance by incorporating a small orchestra, marking a significant development in their programming. This initiative aims to present a large master choral work, with local musicians collaborating alongside a few high school students. The involvement of a retired orchestra teacher from the North Thurston school district is expected to facilitate this orchestral arrangement.

The choral group typically holds its larger performances at Capitol High School, which offers a greater capacity compared to other venues like Glory Day, where they have previously faced audience limitations, often turning away 60 to 100 attendees per night. The decision to utilize Capitol High School for these events underscores the group's commitment to accommodating their growing audience.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the group's dedication to expanding their musical offerings and engaging the community through both traditional and innovative performances.
