The Eclectica Community Choir of 100 Mile House was in Williams Lake at Cariboo Bethel Church on Feb. 26, participating in the Parade of Choirs concert produced by the Hough Memorial Cancer Society.
Eclectica, along with five other choirs, raised more than $1,900 for the society to help purchase a new digital mammography unit for Cariboo Memorial Hospital.
The local choir had 30 of its members participating and performing a couple of folk tunes, a lively African number and the John Lennon song, "Imagine." Donna Forward from 100 Mile accompanied the choir on piano.
Other participating Williams Lake musical groups included the Cariboo Men's Choir, Quintet Plus, the trio Willow, Angelkeys Children's Choir and the Cariboo Seniors' Choir.
Eclectica singer Ann Swann says their director Jasmine Kreschuk was unable to accompany them due to illness and choir member Patricia Spencer jumped in as assistant director at the last minute and did a great job.
As part of the show, all of the choirs joined together to perform old favourites, "Four Strong Winds" and "Blowin' in the Wind."
