Festival 2007
The South West Chicago
Chapter of Choristers Guild, held: Dance For the Lord Like Children,
a Festival on November 2nd and 3rd. Our clinicians were Sid Davis
and Mitzi Scott from St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Houston
Texas. We shared our day with 45 6th-12th graders and 108 3rd-5th
graders! After rehearsing and sharing a meal and snacks, we enjoyed
a concert where we sang individually, as groups, and combined to
sing 2 pieces, one of them being an unpublished piece by Kinley
Lange, titled: Dance For the Lord Like Children, our Festival's
namesake.
The audience was thrilled
to see so many children and youth singing together. The kids loved
our clinicians and even after a long day of rehearsals wanted to
sing more during the reception that followed. Our Chapter is alive
and doing fine!
For anyone looking for
good clinicians, we would highly recommend Sid and Mitzi. They work
sooo well as a team and the kids responded to their upbeat, loving
styles.
We're planning
another Festival for the 7th & 8th of November 2008.
