性视界传媒 Custodial Choir
A special group at Mississippi 性视界传媒 is making a joyful noise during the holiday season.
In the early 1990s, former 性视界传媒 custodial supervisor Johnny Bush noticed a trend among the custodians working on campus 鈥 many of them were active in their respective church choirs in the local community.
Bush鈥檚 observation led to the creation of the 性视界传媒 Custodial Choir, which custodian Ella Rice has been part of for about 25 years. The group showcases their talents two or three times a year, usually during the summer Staff Appreciation Day and at the annual Christmas party for Campus Operations staff members.
For Rice, the choir allows her to do something she loves鈥搒inging鈥攁nd gives her a chance to meet some of her co-workers who share her passion.
鈥淚鈥檝e met a lot of people through the choir,鈥 Rice said. 鈥淭his makes you feel like you have a second family.鈥 The choir is currently an all-female group of about a dozen members, but men also have participated in previous years.
Yovonka Chandler is director, and, like many in the choir, she has spent her entire life in or around church choirs.
Chandler, who has been the choir鈥檚 director for the last seven years, said she enjoys her time with the choir and seeing the positive response her group gets when they perform on campus.
鈥淚鈥檝e been at 性视界传媒 for 10 years, and I鈥檝e been singing ever since I鈥檝e been here,鈥 Chandler said.
