It's a special weekend with the Hartford Community Chorus.

"We Lift Our Voice" Celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America. 

"I kiddingly say that the audience will leave feeling red, white and blue," Hartford Community Chorus' Artistic Director Mark Weller teased.

The patriotic performances will include dedications to those who have served in preserving and maintaining our country's freedom. The "Unsung Hero" will be performed, recognizing the POW-MIA, American prisoners of war and missing personnel, featuring the slogan "You Are Not Forgotten." 

Weller told WTKM that an American Flag folding ceremony will be conducted, with the 13-fold procedure.

"We will have one person telling what each fold means. Then I'm going to have those people in the audience who have family members who have died in combat, in service to come forward from their chairs to stand in front of the stage. The folded flag will be presented to them as we sing the song, "Folded Flag." 

The performances include Saturday, May 2 at Holy Hill beginning at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 3 at the Schauer Arts Center, in Hartford at 3 p.m.
