and "Sea To Shining Sea." The current Choraliers are led by FRA Music Teacher Janet Mapel,

 FRA students attend UGA Choral Day
Flint River Academy students Ansley Marlowe of Moreland and Hannah Knight of Thomaston enjoyed the UGA Choral Day with FRA music teacher Janet Mapel. Choral Day is held annually at Hodgson Concert Hall UGA Performing Arts Center in Athens.
Flint River Academy was one of 25 high schools that came to share a day of music by listening to UGA's many choral ensembles and to sing with them in a Closing Concert at the end of the day.
Dr. Greg Broughton teaches at UGA. He is a graduate of Manchester High School and is well known for his music achievements.
Also pictured is Olivia Greene, a former student of Ms. Mapel and a UGA Junior who is very active in the music program.
