The 2015 Chilton County High School “Blast from the Past” is right around the corner, and students are working hard to perfect the songs and dances they will perform.
This year’s program will be held in the CCHS auditorium Friday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, March 1 at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $7 per person and may be purchased in the CCHS front office during school hours for reserved tickets, or tickets can be purchased in the auditorium at CCHS during Blast practices each day.
The practices are held Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights from 5-8 p.m.
For more information, call the CCHS office at (205) 280-2710.
Tickets may be purchased at the door before performances as long as they are available.
There are 102 students involved in Blast from the Past, a concert program and fundraiser that supports CCHS.
Rick and Sheri McKee will spearhead the program again this year.
The first Blast was held in the early 1990s, and the McKees led it for 18 years before Paige Scruggs led it for three years.
The McKees missed interacting with the students and later returned, and will now enter the 23rd year of the production.
