Wrangell Community Orchestra preps for October concert

The music room at Evergreen Elementary school was filled with music last Saturday morning as the Wrangell Community Orchestra met for their weekly practice. The orchestra, which conductor Mary Kurth said numbers about 24 people, is open to all members of the community. The orchestra is a relatively new group, she said, being first organized last year. On Oct. 10 the orchestra will be part of a concert to benefit St. Francis Animal Rescue. The concert will take place at 7 p.m. at the elementary school gym.
