From Our Incoming Regional Education Coordinator

So what is spring without contest – I guess we will all find out. I hope you and your family are staying
safe and healthy.

I see that many of you are engaged in virtual rehearsals! Good for you! After seeing each other weekly
for years, it’s strange not having your chorus risermates close by. So I’ve got my eye on Fall Regional!
As new EC starting May 1, I’m excited we have Jennie Morton coming in. Heidi snagged her for us and I
couldn’t be more excited. She has such an interesting approach to all that we have heard, I know she will
inspire your thinking differently!

I’m also excited to tell you about some new things happening at Fall Regional Weekend!

The first one is COACHING DUETS with Inner Circle Singers. Learn our craft some great partnerships
who are excited to work with you! You can book a half hour with them! One will sing with you and one
will coach and vice versa. Keep your eye on the schedule so you’ll know who is doing what, when – and
sign up!! And fill out the evaluations – I need feedback to see if you liked it and want more or have
some ideas to make it better.

Also, on Sunday AM there will be extra chorus coaching opportunities: Boston Skyline and Northern
Voices Acapella are booked because they are the Hostesses and greatest percentage winners. There is
room for coaching for two other choruses. Those who are interested will send me their names and I will
pick two from a hat from the bunch I get - . So let me know if you are gonna be in Springfield. Coaching
will be with our Regional or our International Faculty members – you get to choose who you want from
those available Sunday AM

Just trying to whet your appetite for the next time we meet! More details to come! Looking forward to
getting started! Hang in there – we will get through this.
