On December 20, 2019 the Skyline Chimers held their annual Christmas Concert at the Front Royal United Methodist Church. The Chimers didn’t let their disabilities get in the way of performing to nearly a full house. Under the direction of Allyson Gillispie, the groups performance was amazing. The Christmas spirit and joy shows in their faces.
The Chimers include: Hunter Celec, Elise Deardurff, Chase Dove, Skyeann Dove, Chris Feehan, Izzy Kelly, Morgan Miller, Kevin Olson, Carl Olson, Shannon Stewart, Timmy Alger and Thomas Jenkins.
A special thanks to all the volunteers that help make this concert such a success.
We spoke with Allyson after the concert and she filled us in on future plans. The Royal Examiner’s camera captured the event, so now watch and enjoy the concert.
