| Comments: | 1997. participated in the Disneyland 1000 voice candlelight procession. We passed the audition, and infomred people in October. We had two months to memorize the music and raise funds to go to Los Angeles. Except for the Disneyland employees, we were the only corporate choir. We came out of Cinderella's Castle. All lights were out, and singers were dressed in multi-colored robes with white collars. We proceeded to the train station (down Main Street). The audience of thousands was enthralled. We did regular carols while walking, and then performed with orchestra, bell ringers, and trumpeters. Joseph Campanella was the Master of Ceremonies. He read the Christmas story and we sang." |
