Guest Artists/Clinicians: m-pact
Groups will prepare 2-3 songs to perform on stage with our state-of-the-art sound system and then participate in a clinic with our guest artists/clinicians.
In addition to an off-stage clinic, your choir will learn from watching other high school and college groups perform, will attend masterclasses by members by our guest artists, will have an opportunity to work on solo singing, and will be given discounted tickets to attend an evening concert by our guest artists that you don’t want to miss.
Private YouTube videos of your group’s performance will be created so your students can watch their performance and share with family and friends. We hope to see you in April!
Group participation fee is $310. Ticket price to the evening concert at 7pm is reduced to $7 for all participating students/teachers!
