Summer Choir School
Summer Choir School Coming Up!
Note: There will be a meeting for all Choir School staff member on Sunday, August 22nd, at noon in the Choir Room; sandwiches will be available. Teachers will have the chance to prepare their rooms for the week ahead following the meeting. To assist with advance preparation, teachers may get a copy of the curriculum from Cheryl Mensing.
The Summer Choir School is open to all children who will have completed grades 2-8, regardless of church affiliation.
This year's program will take place Monday-Friday, August 23-27, 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. daily. Choir School brochures (which include a registration form) are available in the narthex--or just click here.
Every day Choir School participants have a small choir rehearsal and two all-school rehearsals. Bible study, varied worship experiences, and an elective activity, ranging from cooking, dance, and crafts to handbells, Orff instruments, and yoga, complete the morning schedule. At the end of the week the children sing in a closing service, which is open to the public.
An excellent staff, some of whom were once Summer Choir School choristers themselves, leads the program under the direction of Joanne Harris Rodland, Minister of Music at West Side, and Deborah Holden-Holloway, Associate Minister of Music.
