     After responding to an editorial in The Elkhart Truth about forming an alumni choir , I received the following information.  I thought perhaps some of our class would be interested in participating.   More information can be found at the EHS Class of 1973 web site  Http://www.ehs73.com

Elkhart High School ALL Alumni Band-Orchestra-Choir!  (EHS Alunni BOC)

The formation of an Elkhart High School ALL Alumni Band/Orchestra/Choir is in progress.

The EHS Alumni BOC is in the process of forming a choir to perform at one of the opening ceremonies of the Lerner Performing Arts Center in Elkhart, Indiana (the old Elco theatre) in 2011.

 The choir should include graduates from Elkhart High School, Elkhart Central High School, and Elkhart Memorial High School.

 This choir is going to be a serious, dedicated group and its members need to be able to come to come to most practices.

We will be singing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and approximately three other selections.  The "Battle Hymn of the Republic" was performed at the final concert of the old Elkhart l High School building in 1972 before the building was torn down.

More information will be posted HERE I http://www.ehs73.com as it becomes available.

We are in the process of determining the level of interest for this project so please pass this information on to your fellow Elkhart high School alumni.
