Choral Leadership Workshop


Saturday, September 29th, 8 students made their way to Willamette University in Salem to attend the 2007 Choral Leadership Workshop: Melissa Jenck, Stephanie Jenck, Laura Bofill, Angel Stromberg, Charlie Cooper, Dustin Decker, Bob Critelli and Sean Richards. (Charlie, Dustin and Sean have been at Outdoor School this week and actually had a little bit of "voice" left. :-)

Dr. Wallace Long is the choir director at Willamette and believes in enabling choir members to be leaders within the choir. Besides teaching the 257 choir leaders about vocal techniques and warmups and how to be a good section leader, we worked on 3 songs at school and rehearsed and performed them at the workshop. A CD was recorded of the Saturday performance. After the workshop we went to Red Robin for dinner....the endless Strawberry Lemonades were delicious!
