Jamboree Kick Off Party
Jamboree
The Smithville/DeKalb Community Chorus wowed the crowd during the opening ceremony of the Smithville Jamboree on Friday. Before the performance, the group honored a few of their longtime members, Jackie Young, Dr. Robert Atnip, and Chorus Director Faye Fuqua.


Thursday evening’s Jamboree Kick-Off Party at Evins Park Amphitheater is on the near horizon, but the Smithville Community Chorus would like to clarify that this rendition of its show is a only a practice run and will have limited sound amplification.

So, gather ‘round close and enjoy the sights and sounds of Jamboree Eve! The finished product of the patriotic revue will take place in full costume with full sound on Friday evening on the Jamboree stage as the Chorus officially welcomes everyone to our festival! Five local square dance teams will take the stage following the Chorus for their final practices before competing at the Jamboree on Friday and Saturday. Come on downtown and join the fun!
