After 25 years of providing choral music to the community, the Highlands Delta Chorale has performed its last concert due to the lack of singing voices. When I came to Sebring in the mid- 1970s, it was my dream to start a choral group. It became a reality with the Sebring Hills Chorale that later in October 1983 became the Highlands Delta Chorale.
