Vashon Youth Chorus, for grades K-6, also begins Monday, Sept. 8.

The chorus’ production, “Lights, Camera, Action,” under the direction of Marita Ericksen, will offer a lively repertoire of seasonal pieces in two-to-three-part harmonies and a selection of favorite songs from musicals such as “Shrek,” “The Polar Express” and more, including choreography and speaking parts.
