The choir is free to its participants, but has some expenses such as weekly after-school refreshments, accompanist, performing shirts, office supplies, etc. Mrs. Gillhouse said that a sponsor would be credited on all news articles, concert programs, and performing shirts. So far, there are twenty children participating in the choir and she expects that number to grow.
