THE CHORAL PROGRAM AT FRANCIS MARION

The choral program at Francis Marion affords an opportunity for students who enjoy singing to do just that.  The Concert Choir is open to all students without an audition and there are choral scholarships available for qualifying students.  These scholarships are awarded each semester on the basis of an audition with the director. The Concert Choir presents a concert each semester and sings for graduation.  CUT TIME, FMU’s show choir, is an audition-only group.  This group is selected on the basis of a singing and dancing audition and its members receive scholarships for their participation.  They have performed in Washington, DC, Vienna, Austria, at Disney World, and, as stated above, aboard The Sovereign of the Seas cruise ship.
