ARISE heading to Washington D.C.
WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) – AAA estimates that 39 million Individuals will journey this Memorial Day Weekend. Nonetheless, few will go someplace as choose as native choral group ARISE: Washington DC.
ARISE is a collective group of mulch-cultural individuals of various ages, ethnicities and religions. They use music to unify the individuals they sing for.
The group has spent the final yr preparing for this particular second. Many months in the past, they obtained a particular invitation to sing on the Kennedy Heart on this yr’s Nationwide Memorial Day live performance.
Andy Bias says that the ARISE group has been working very exhausting, placing lots of effort into the endeavor.
“I believe that we’re able to symbolize Kansas,” he mentioned.
ARISE has needed to be taught an entire new slate of songs for his or her efficiency, and possibly will not even be recognizable as a gaggle, as a result of they will be combined up with choirs from 49 different states.
“We’ll be with our sections,” defined Bias. “I am a bass, so I will be within the bass part. Whether or not or not you will see ARISE as a gaggle may be very uncertain.”
The group says that every one these practices and now the journey to DC is all price it ultimately.
“It is a commemoration of the Memorial Day celebrations which have been postponed for a number of years on account of COVID,” mentioned Gerald Norwood. “Now we have a chance to symbolize Kansas.”
“We will need to work as soon as we get there. We will have at the least one other ten hours of rehearsals earlier than the occasion on Sunday,” Bias defined.
“We’re simply wanting ahead to this weekend and making an incredible contribution to the USA,” remarked Norwood.
ARISE will probably be performing Sunday night time because the Nationwide Memorial Day live performance returns to a stay in-person occasion beginning at 7:00 CST.
Federal offices in the D.C. area will be closed Monday but telework and remote employees will be expected to work, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced Sunday night.
Non-telework employees will receive weather and safety leave for the number of hours they were scheduled to work today, OPM said.
However, leave won’t be granted to employees who are on official travel outside of the duty station, who are on an Alternative Work Schedule (AWS) day off or who have another non-workday.
Emergency employees are expected to report to their worksites unless otherwise directed by their agencies, OPM said.
