The Barton Hills Neighborhood Association sponsored the annual 4th of July Parade and Picnic last Sunday. The parade originated at the Barton Hills Market and included Fire Chief Rhoda Mae Kerr as Grand Marshal, with singer/songwriter and neighbor Sara Hickman as emcee and leading the national anthem at the Picnic that followed at the Barton Hills Elementary playground.

The choir performed the following set of songs for the appreciative crowd of families celebrating our nation’s independence:

  • National Anthem (with Sara Hickman)
  • This Land Is Your Land
  • Hear The Noise
  • Race For The Prize
  • Kamera
  • A Spoonful Weighs A Ton
  • Nowhere Man
  • Dreaming Eagles
  • Help!
  • Barton Hills Choir Song
