Since the creation

of the Unites States of America, this country has been creating noble

inventions and making amazing discoveries.

Now, those

notable figures and events will be honored through song and dance.

The Fayette

County Select Chorus will present "Made In The U.S.A.," a company-developed

variety show blending rock, pop and soul. The show includes such favorites

as "Where The Green Grass Grows," "Proud Mary," and

"Funky Town" as it depicts the Wright Brothers, George Washington

Carver, Thomas Edison and many more.

The Select

Chorus is an award-winning auditioned group of FCHS juniors and seniors.

Under the direction of Janice Folsom, who has been at the helm of the

Select Chorus Variety Show for 24 years, the chorus has gained widespread

recognition throughout the state. In recent years, it has performed at

the Great Christmas Tree Lighting in Atlanta, St. Patrick's Cathedral

in New York City and last year, the chorus toured and sang at numerous

locations in London and Paris.

Last month

the Select Chorus earned a Superior rating in the Large Group Choral Festival

sponsored by the Georgia Music Educators Association. This is the highest

rating that may be awarded by the festival adjudicators.

Not only are

the Select Chorus members musically talented, but they are well-rounded

students with many other interests. This year the Select Chorus includes

members from the FCHS football, wrestling, basketball and soccer teams,

members of flag corps, National Honor Society, Beta Club and FCHS drama

groups. Folsom, the driving force behind the chorus, has served as the

choral chairman for the Georgia Music Educators Association and has also

been named Teacher of the Year at FCHS.

"Made

in the U.S.A." will be performed at Sams Auditorium March 22, 23

and 24 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 25 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $5 for

students, $6 for adults, and $8 at the door.

For tickets,

see any Select Chorus member or phone Folsom at 770-460-3540.
