Chesapeake, VA | 4-5:30 pm. Did you know that the vocal talents of my good friend Katie Duckett were fostered by many years of singing with the Virginia Children's Chorus (VCC)? That's right... if it weren't for rigorous training under the direction of VCC Chorus Founder and Artistic Director Carol Downing, Katie Duckett might not have turned out to be as ridiculously gifted as she is! I was Katie's supporting bandmate for three songs as part of the VCC's 30th Anniversary Celebration, entitled “My Own Song.” This special concert also featured VCC Alumni Jeanette Corey, Bennett Wales and Dowler Wheat with VCC Chorus performances as well. Location: Great Bridge United Methodist Church, 201 Stadium Drive, Chesapeake, VA. Free & Open to the Public. Donations accepted to benefit the VCC Scholarship Fund.
