BUZZ joins the choir as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Martinsville, Virginia’s Smith River Singers!
From just 23 singers in 2014 to more than 80 today, the Smith River Singers stands as one of the best community choirs in Virginia. In addition to the choir itself, other community members featured in the episode include the The Harvest Foundation, Bassett High School, Piedmont Arts, MovetoMartinsville and Uptown Partnership.
Making some marketing music for the all-volunteer community choir is LeadPoint Digital, which promotes SRS’ choral prowess as well as its cultural impact on the region. The show reveals a “full circle moment” for LeadPoint Digital’s Sarah Wardle Jones, a Martinsville native whose mother was a founding member of the choir and father built its original website.
