Friday, April 11th we hosted Eastmont High School from Wenatchee, WA. They were on tour and wanted to visit the coast, so Director Ron Sukauskas contacted me and it worked out for us to have a choir exchange with them.
They came, set up a lot of sound equipment, our Concert Choir sang, the Vocal Ensemble sang and then they sang. We heard their Chamber Choir and Jazz Choir. Their choirs had a very nice, open tone.
One day I hope we can visit them some day at their school. I hear there is a great water/amusement park up that way. And...Leavenworth ( a couple of hours away) would be a great place to visit. The town is a Bavarian Village and we could shop till we drop.
I think their Jazz Choir inspired some of our singers. We MAY try putting together a Jazz Choir of our own next year. Anyone for a 7 AM rehearsal???
