The 2010 Mountaire Communion of Choirs Competition, originally slated for April 29 - May 1 at Trinity United Methodist Church in Salisbury, MD was cancelled due to the severe winter weather experienced across the Peninsula.  However a date has been set for the 2011 Mountaire Communion of Choirs to be held at Trinity United Methodist Church in Salisbury, MD.  As of now the competition is planned for April 28, 29 & 30.  Any choirs interested in participating should still contact Roger Marino at rmarino@mountaire.com with inqueries on how to be apart of the competition.

Mountaire Farms is excited to extend an invitation to all choirs on Delmarva to participate in the Annual Mountaire Communion of Choirs Competition, set for April 28, 29 & 30.  The three day event is designed to highlight and honor Delmarva choal groups in a spiritually-competitive format, where the most outstanding performances are rewarded with cash prizes.  

In November of '09, members of the competing Communion of Choirs were invited to form a combined choir to accompany Sandi Patty at the opening performance of her national Christmas Season concert tour in Georgetown, Delaware. It was an exciting and rewarding event and we expect to provide our contestants the opportunity to participate in other combined choral programs in the coming years.  For highlights of our combined Communion of Choirs performing with Sandi Patty click here.

We’d love to have your choir participate this year to share the praises of our Lord Jesus Christ in words and music. For entry info please contact Roger Marino at rmarino@mountaire.com or by phone at (302) 934-3123.
