SOCA Convention Hosted by Karageorge
Every two years, one of the member choirs of the Serbian Orthodox Choral Association hosts their convention. This year's meetings proved to be very productive. The Delegates met in Merrillville, where they spent both days updating By-Laws and discussing future festivals. Choirs from Hamilton, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, East Chicago, and Merrillville were represented. Everyone took a break and spent Friday night at Bronko's enjoying a great meal. Of course, there was kolo dancing and sing-alongs to the sounds of "Mismo" Tamburitza Orchestra. Sunday the combined choirs sang the Liturgical responses and also held Parastos remembering deceased SOCA members. (Click photo to enlarge)
