Puttin’ on the Ritz, Celebrating 20s
The Jacksonville Children’s Chorus (JCC) has been in the midst of a celebration, as the anniversary year has been full of special occasions. This year’s Roaring 20’s party was quite fitting as the organization reaches its 20-year mark. The cocktail party was a ‘first’ for the organization and if turnout and support were the litmus test, it certainly won’t be the last.
Proud patrons of the local youth singing groups, including host Gary McCalla, were unwavering in their support for the inaugural event. The organization drew a crowd from parents, corporate sponsors and partners throughout the region. The world-class choral program delivered a stunning performance complete with dancing, singing and swing music by Freudian Slip, who jammed the night away in the courtyard of the estate home on the St. Johns riverfront. Guests donned their best flapper attire and zoot suits and danced the night away.
