world-seriesThe Gay Softball World Series begins today — we have coverage of it here — and the opening ceremonies, already set to have Dale Hansen on hand, will start off with the National Anthem being sung by the Turtle Creek Chorale.

The opening ceremonies will be at Annette Strauss  Square, adjacent to the Winspear Opera House, Sept. 22 from 5:30–9:30 p.m. About 3,000 attendees are expected.

We haven’t heard much from the Chorale since the resignation last spring of artistic director Trey Jacobs, other than the appointment of interim director Sean Baugh. This will be the first public performance from the group since June. The next will be Oct. 17 at the Latino Cultural Center, before the Christmas concert series in December.
