by Martha Kirkland, Young Musicians Choir director
On September 26 - 27, nine 5th and 6th graders will join in a weekend of making music with 300 - 400 Young Musicians from across the state of Tennessee. The gathering will happen at Hilldale Baptist Church in Clarksville and will include an overnight stay. This will be the fourth year that our choir has participated in the event, sponsored by the Worship & Music department of the Tennessee Baptist Convention.
The boys and girls who will attend KCC are becoming familiar with five anthems, chosen by this year's choral directors, Dora Ann Purdy, choral teacher at St. Paul Christian Academy, and Terry Taylor, Minister of Music at FBC, Dothan, AL. Our congregation can look forward to hearing these anthems performed throughout the year by our entire YM Choir. While at KCC, the children will enjoy a pizza supper, several rehearsals, short worship experiences and celebrative fun times led by local ministers of music.
You are invited to join First Baptist Nashville parents in the worship/concert time on Saturday, September 27, 2:00 p.m. at Hilldale Baptist Church, Clarksville. At press time, those attending from FBC include these boys and girls who have participated in YM Choir for one or two full years: Jessica Bronaugh, Evan Brown, Caleb Bunn, Mackenzie Carris, Damien Herrera-Sadler, Ryan Latimer, Lilly Patey, Caleb Smith, and Mary Beth White. Leaders and sponsors include Martha Kirkland and Dr. Billy Smith.
