Tuning up for summer

Conducted by Haig Demerjian, the Wrangell Summer Orchestra practices together Saturday at the Evergreen Elementary band room. The seasonal group will be joined by Wrangell Chorale and a string trio for a special summer solstice concert the evening of June 21. Aside from heralding the start of summer, the canned food drive to benefit the local Salvation Army's food bank will also be held. Attendees are asked to bring something for the drive, while any monetary donations made will go toward Wrangell Public Schools' music program. The concert begins at 7 p.m. inside the elementary school gym.
