NYE With Team Lachey


from the enquirer...

New Year's Eve revelers can spend part of their evening with "Team Lachey," which performs at 8 p.m. Monday on Fountain Square downtown.

The group will sing "Flight of the Bumblebee" and "What a Wonderful World." The choir, made up of local residents and led by Cincinnati native Nick Lachey, propelled Cincinnati into the national spotlight Dec. 20 when it won "Clash of the Choirs," an NBC reality show.

The prize is a $250,000 donation for Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Mayor Mark Mallory will introduce the choir Monday night. Lachey is unable to attend, but 18 of the 20 choir members will perform. The free performance is part of the Fountain Square New Year's Eve Blast, presented by Duke Energy.

Free ice skating will be offered 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. At 9 p.m., DJ Pillo will take the stage with two turntables, mixers and vinyl until it's time for the video countdown to midnight on the LED board. Fireworks will explode at midnight.
