The Oak Lawn Community High School advanced choir, better known as Ancora, will perform live with the famous 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy award-winning band Foreigner, and they will not be as cold as ice. At the beginning of April, Ancora teacher Samantha Elliott submitted a video audition to 97.1 The Drive's radio contest for local choirs to sing with the band. They collaborated on an "I Want To Know What Love Is" arrangement as a class and made a video recording to submit to the radio station for review. Out of all of the submissions in the area, Ancora was chosen as the winner. Samantha said, “Both TJ Kahriman and Tim Krupa shared the audition information with me and I knew I had to at least try. This will be a truly unique experience for these students and we can not wait to Rock out with the band!”
The event will take place on August 24th at the Credit 1 Amphitheater in Tinley Park.
