California Capital Vocal Jazz & Show Choir Festival

This severely underpublicized event is coming to the Woodlake Hotel (formerly the Radisson) this weekend (March 16 & 17). The event is sponsored by the Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau, and two of the key organizers are Fred Weber (formerly Music Dept. Chair at Sierra College) and Cherry Hayes (former Choir Director at Bear River HS). Fifteen choirs from nine schools will be competing, and there is a full performance by the American River College Jazz Choir late Friday afternoon and a "command performance" by winning choirs Saturday at noon.
Here is a pdf file with the 2-day schedule, and you can get more information in the Sacramento Choral Calendar at this link.
