Georgetown County choir helping flood victims

CHARLESTON, SC — A Georgetown County choir is helping
Mississippi flood victims. The kids helping are part of the
Georgetown High School gospel choir.

The joyful sounds of gospel music rang through the halls of
Georgetown High as the school’s gospel choir wraps up last minute
practice before heading out to help heal the hearts of others with
their voices.

Every year, the choir of 9th through 12th graders travels to two
different states. They sing at nursing homes, churches and various
functions using music and their voices as therapy for others.

Choir coordinator Leona Reed says at the beginning of the school
year, the choir chose to sing in Vicksburg, Mississippi and New
Orleans.

“Somehow we ended up picking the town that was effected by the
flood,” says Reed.”It was preplanned and predestined and now that’s
where we are going to sing a benefit concert to the flood
victims.”
