The Fayette

County Select Chorus, under the direction of Janice

Folsom, will present its 23rd annual Select Chorus

Variety Show this Thursday though Sunday.

Beginning

in the early morning hours with "I've Got the Sun in

the Morning" and dancing late into the evening with

"The Joint is Jumpin'" the chorus sings from

morning to night without slowing down.

The Select

Chorus is an award-winning auditioned group of FCHS

juniors and seniors. The chorus has gained widespread

recognition throughout the state, performing at events

such as the Georgia Music Educators Association

convention in Savannah and at St. Patrick's Cathedral in

New York City. This year, the chorus will travel to

Europe, with performances scheduled in England and

France.

The variety

show is company-developed, meaning that the students

spend months preparing the show each year. Students from

the art department and drama department contribute to the

show's success by providing technical support and

backdrop designs.

Choral

director Janice Folsom is the driving force behind the

show each year. She was recognized as Teacher of the Year

at FCHS in 1990 and was one of three finalists last year

for the GMEA Teacher Hall of Fame.

The Select

Chorus is a musically talented bunch, but they are also

very well rounded. This year's group includes members of

the football team and wrestling team, members of the

National Honor Society, and members of band and drama,

among others.

'Round the

Clock will be performed March 23, 24 and 25 at 7:30 p.m.

and March 26 at 3 p.m. at Sams Auditorium in

Fayetteville. Tickets are $5 for students, $6 for adults

and $8 at the door. Tickets may be purchased in advance

from any Select Chorus member or by phoning 770-460-3540.
