Williamsburg Choir opens for Foreigner

Members of the Williamsburg High School Choir had the opportunity of lifetime when they opened for Foreigner on Nov. 4 at the Corbin Arena.

The 11-person choir performed several of Foreigners greatest hits off to the side on the Arena floor prior to the band taking the stage.

The choir won the opportunity through a contest hosted by WANV London Kool Gold between the Lynn Camp High School and Williamsburg High School choirs.

Community members were able to vote for their choice of school online.

The choirs each submitted an audio file singing a Foreigner song of their choice, so voters could listen to the renditions and then vote for their favorite.

Williamsburg’s choir will receive a $500 donation from Foreigner, and Kool Gold will match the donation for a total of $1,000.

“We are so thankful for the opportunity to perform for our community,” said Williamsburg Choir Director Jonathan Wyatt. “Thank you to Foreigner for supporting arts in our public schools.”
