NATIONAL ANTHEM
The Jacksonville Children’s Chorus (JCC) was
founded in 1995 at Jacksonville University
to fi ll a need for a children’s music program
in the area. Led by Dr. Frances B. Kinne,
then Jacksonville University president, the
plan to create a local choir was implemented
by Dr. Jon O. Carlson and Jim Taylor, who
served as the fi rst conductor. In that fi rst
year, JCC had only 16 voices. Since then, it
has grown to a membership of more than
350 singers participating in fi ve choirs.
has developed into one of Jacksonville’s
most important providers of music
education, enriching the lives of singers and
audiences across the region.
On hand to interpret the National Anthem
for the hearing impaired are students from
the Caitlin Brock
Today’s Colors will be presented by the UNF
ROTC.
