Binghamton Downtown Singers present ‘Glory and Light'
JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The Binghamton Downtown Singers are performing what may be their last show at their home venue of Sarah Jane Johnson Memorial United Methodist Church this weekend.
The Binghamton Downtown Singers are presenting their spring concert 'Glory and Light' on Saturday.
The group is made up of nearly 90 singers of all ages and abilities, as well as a large 21-piece orchestra from around the Southern Tier.
The show features an uplifting and diverse score, which includes presentations of Two Psalms, Gloria, and the local debut of Illuminare by Elaine Hagenberg.
Co-President Julie Drozdowski says the concert is just like the title suggests. She said it speaks to hope, love, light, and blessings.
'There are sections of darkness in it, but the whole thing is just really that light and bringing it around full circle and making sure that joy that comes from the music and from whatever you believe in, I think, is really cool,' said Drozdowski.
The concert will take place at 7 p.m. on Saturday at Sarah Jane Johnson Memorial United Methodist Church in Johnson City. The church congregation recently announced that the building is up for sale, so this may be your last chance to catch the Binghamton Downtown Singers at this venue.
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at downtownsingers.org or at the door the day of the event. Students can attend for free.

5 high school students receive McShorley scholarship
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The Binghamton Noon Rotary Club is helping some Binghamton High School seniors prepare to pursue their collegiate degrees. The service club announced the recipients of its annual McSorley high school scholarships. The students are chosen based on their potential to excel academically, thrive in the world of work and for their ability to serve their communities in the tradition of Rotary's motto service above self. The five recipients are Jaezelle Darrah who plans to study nursing, Nevaeh Martins who will pursue sports broadcasting, Alexea Oliveri who will major in psychology and minor in criminal justice, Colin McGovern who wants to become a math professor, and my daughter Olivia Ehmke who will study musical theater. Olivia says she was blown away by the generosity of the $1,000 award. 'It's just so important to encourage kids to go on to college and pursue what they love. I think a lot of kids couldn't do it without scholarships. Also, there's something to be said, even apart from the money, that recognition of what you have done throughout your high school years has made an impact,' said Olivia. Olivia says it was the only scholarship application process that involved being interviewed by a panel of Rotary members. She says she enjoyed the process and thought it gave them the opportunity to get to know her better. The McSorley scholarship is funded by contributions by Binghamton Rotary members, matched by member Jeff Cull.

Binghamton Move Out Project donates 33,000 pounds of items
VESTAL, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Year-round residents in need are about to benefit from the unwanted goods left behind by departing Binghamton University students. The Binghamton Move Out Project collected over 33,000 pounds of items from BU students who graduated or went home for the summer. On Tuesday, nearly 50 local nonprofits were able to do some free shopping for things that might benefit their clients. Items included food, clothing, books, children's toys, and other contributions. Nick Martin, Associate Director of the Q Center on BU's campus, says the project relies upon more than 150 volunteers and the generosity of the students. 'I would hope, as a person that lives in the community, that this helps to show the community that students are ready to do a lot of great things for the community. They just need some extra support sometimes,' said Martin. The Move Out Project will hold another shopping day on Wednesday. Organizations interested in participating next year can fill out a form that can be found here.
