The Enloe High School Chamber Choir and Advanced Women's Ensemble will be official representatives of the state of NC in the performance at America's 400th Anniversary Weekend, commemorating the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown settlement in Virginia - America's birthplace.
Members of the Enloe choirs will perform in the anniversary's signature event - a finale musical performance to take place on Sunday, May 13th. This concert will include nationally recognized talent, and current plans are to provide national television coverage. Former US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor will serve as Honorary Chair of the Anniversary Weekend, and invitations have been extended to Queen Elizabeth II and President George Bush.
A commemorative choir of 1,067 singers will perform alongside a commemorative orchestra of 400 musicians for this event. In addition to being part of the festival, the Enloe choirs will also have the opportunity to perform a stand-alone, featured performance for the many thousands of visitors that will be present for the Anniversary Weekend.
