colors 2012 Columbus MLK Children's Choir colors
An exciting opportunity for the children of Columbus, Ohio!

This is an exciting and unique opportunity for children to perform for the city of Columbus' MLK celebration at Veteran's Memorial Auditorium.  This choir is the finale of the city-wide MLK celebration!  The children will be singing original music composed by the MLK Children's Choir director, Cynthia Gowens.

We are looking for children between the ages of 6-12 to participate in the 2012 MLK Children's Choir!

This program is run on a tight schedule, due to it being televised, so we are looking for children who can:
1. sing well and learn new music quickly
2. listen and follow directions quickly
3. watch and follow the director, and
4. walk quietly and stand quietly while we are backstage.

Our rehearsals will be held at Nationwide Children's Hospital.  The hospital has been a gracious host of our rehearsals for many years!  This year we want to give back to the hospital by supporting their  Pajama Closet!   We are asking for a $10 donation from those who register for the MLK Choir.  For each $10 donation the hospital will be able to provide a pair of pajamas for children from their Cancer unit.
