FRANC D'AMBROSIO MASTER CLASS

Sunday, November 18th Monday Musical Club of Tillamook brought "The Phantom" to our Don Whitney Auditorium for a concert. Franc D'Ambrosio who played The Phantom of the Opera for 6 years delivered a great 90 minutes of song to a full house. On Monday he and his accompanist hosted a Master Class for our Vocal Ensemble. We sang a few songs as a group and then Sean Richards and Katie Gienger (VE Alum 2006) sang solo after which Franc and Michael gave them vocal pointers. Thanks to Joe Happ for the photograph and to Marianne Gienger for arranging the Master Class. We had a marvelous time and enjoyed meeting these two genuine gentlemen. (Franc is wearing the hat.)

A NEW HENDERSON PUPPY

Today during class (at Mrs. Henderson's pleading) Mr. Henderson brought our new puppy by the choir room.

Hardly anything makes people smile more than a new puppy.

This one's going to be a whopper...she's only 2 months old and seems half-grown already.

SPACE GIVEN TO BAND

There is one more THS student accepted to an All-State group....All-State Band. Congratulations to Nathan Casteel (a vocalist extrordinaire) that will be performing in the All-State Band with his trombone.
