Choral Group
Plans Musical
At The Shell
I Attempts are being made by local
! music aggregation in the city to
| secure the Belle Isle for the sponsor
ship of a program which will be
held the evening of Saturday.
Augu.st 19.
This evening program will con
! elude a day of picnicking of sev
eral outstanding choral groups in
cluding Unity Baptist choir, Messiah
Baptist, Corinthian, Mt. Beulah.
Rr.tliffe Symphony, and the “Y"
Glee club.
Hourly recreation features have
been planned and each choral group
present will be identified by a col
ored banner. The effort is an at
tempt on the promotions committee
to bring into a closer understanding,
the various musical groups within
the city so as to plan a more ef
fective program of music activity.
More details will be published in
the forthcoming edition of the
Michigan Chronicle.
