Madrigal Dinner Tickets on Sale

Newsome High School’s Chorus cordially invites fellow townsfolk to an evening of feast, song and merriment at their annual yuletide Madrigal Dinner.

The event, an annual fundraiser for Newsome’s chorus program, started with one sold-out performance several years ago and has evolved into a popular seasonal event. The festivities will be staged Dec. 2-3 at First United Methodist Church, 121 N. Knights Ave., Brandon.

Members of the school’s Chamber Choir will don medieval-style costumes and join Newsome chorus director Jeff Bogue in serenading guests and regaling them with skits and jokes. Proceeds go to help pay music and travel expenses for the chorus, which will participate in several adjudicated events off campus, including a Candlelight Processional at Epcot on Dec. 7 and performances in Washington, D.C., this spring.

The $22 ticket price includes a dinner of roast chicken, sides, bread, dessert and wassail. Deadline for ticket orders is Nov. 19. Order forms are available at www.newsomechorus.com and may be dropped off with payment in an envelope marked Newsome Chorus at Newsome High, 16550 FishHawk Blvd., Lithia, or mailed to Newsome Chorus c/o Linda Farella, 6130 Ibispark Dr., Lithia, FL 33547.
