BHS chamber choir putting on Disney fundraiser

Blaine High School chamber choir will be performing Disney songs in costume Saturday, May 6 at the Blaine Senior Center during a breakfast fundraiser for the choir’s trip to Disneyland.

The chamber choir will be traveling to Disneyland in California to perform and workshop Disney music but needs help getting all 15 students on the bus at the end of the month, choir director Andy Marshall said.

The breakfast fundraiser will consist of pancakes, bacon and sausage along with a short choir performance. Students will be dressed up as their favorite Disney characters, and there will be opportunities for photos. Breakfast will be served in three waves: 8:30-9:30 a.m., 9:3010:30 a.m. and 10:30-11:30 a.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and kids under 12. Tickets will be available at the door.

Marshall said all are welcome as the senior center is working on more intergenerational events for the community.

On the trip, students will get to sing on a professional sound stage for a performance in the park and workshop a Disney song with a recording artist.

Marshall said the choir hasn’t been on a trip since before Covid-19, and that Disneyland’s program offers a variety of performing and learning experiences. He said it’s also a great way for students to share memories together outside of the classroom.

The senior center is located at 763 G Street.
