The live singing event will be accompanied by food and drinks on Saturday, March 21, at 6:30 p.m. at the historic Potter House in Downtown Lansing.
"The chorus has grown so much in talent and enthusiasm over the past year. We are eager to bring the Lansing community together and showcase a glimpse of all we've been working on," said Peter Hobson-Morse, director of the LanSINGout Chorus. "We are so grateful for our community supporting us and our dream of going to Minneapolis in July."
