The annual Franklin High School Choir Winter Cabaret opened Jan. 20, featuring the voices of 22 students and their vocal teacher.
The two-day annual event is sponsored by the FHS Choir Parents and the school’s vocal music department. The Choir Parents use their proceeds to help fund the five annual scholarships awarded to graduating students who were in the choir.
Performers come from the school’s vocal class, choir and spring musical cast.
Students picked their own songs, said Timothy Walton, the school’s voice teacher.
“They’ve picked songs that that they feel tell story,” he said. “There’s some pop songs, some inspirational songs, a little bit of everything.”
Walton also performed, giving an emotional performance of “Anything Worth Holding On To.”
The cabaret also runs Jan. 21 in the high school cafeteria. Curtain is at 7:30 p.m.
