Piney Hills Harmony chorus of Sweet Adelines is taking its Christmas show on the road, and members hope that their fans, friends and family follow them to West Monroe. The chorus will present the two-hour production "Christmas on the Bayou" on Dec. 4. The musical holiday show includes songs by the chorus, plus segments by four quartets, including Acoustix, an international champion men's barbershop quartet from Dallas.
Chorus President Carol Ogle said, "'Christmas on the Bayou' is holiday harmony - barbershop style. What a great way to start the Christmas season. We know you will enjoy our program of traditional carols mixed in with a few that may become new favorites. This is definitely not 'your grandpa's barbershop music.' Come enjoy an evening of fun, laughter, beautiful harmony and praise as we celebrate the season." Approximately one-third of the chorus members are from Ouachita Parish, so that’s why the Twin Cities venue was chosen this year, she said.
Show time is 7 p.m. at White's Ferry Road Church of Christ, 3201 N. 7th St. in West Monroe. Tickets are $5 for ages 5 and under; $10 for ages 6-18 and those over 60; and $12 for all others. They are available from chorus members and at White's Ferry Road Church; The Avenue Books and Gifts, Ruston; Zeagler's Music, Monroe; The Guardian-Journal, Homer; and the door. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Angel Ministries of Monroe. For more information, call (318) 348-2291.
