Choral Sessions

Dennis Boyd, Chorus VP
This year, the Choral sessions have a heavy emphasis on our performing ensembles. We will be featuring concerts from Bangor High School, Bonny Eagle High School, Winslow Jr High, and a middle school show choir from the RSU 22 school system. The ACDA Luncheon will feature the combined efforts of Massabesic and Noble High Schools with a teaser performance from Greely High School. Student leadership and arranging by ear will be feature topics within some of our performances.
I am proud to announce we are bringing Amy Beresik all the way from Pennsylvania. Amy is a middle school choral director who also teaches at Duquesne University in the Mary Pappert School of Music. Her two sessions will cover rehearsal planning and painless sight singing technique. Amy has presented in her own state as well as the American Choral Directors Association Eastern Division conferences. I know you will all enjoy her sessions.
