Final Full Day at Choir Camp!

The week has flown by and we are almost at the end of the 2012 Summer Camp. Over 110 students, staff, alumni counselors and parents have worked hard and played hard throughout the entire week. We have accomplished a great deal musically in preparation for the coming season, and our recreational events and activities have left us all a little sleep deprived.

The students have been amazing in their dedication and hard work. They are busy preparing the Bach Magnificat for a performance at this year’s St. Cecilia Day Concert in November. They are also preparing a very challenging setting of the Requiem by French twentieth-century composer Alfred Desenclos.

It has been a real pleasure to work again with our alumni students who have volunteered their time for this entire week in support of the work of the camp: Martin Alcocer, Nic Compagni, Emily Graham, Ben Khan, Ryan Murphy, Nic Parcell, Annie Payne, Cadie Payne, CaiLi Pleshe, Andy Sagers and Joseph Stokes.

Particular thanks go to the volunteer parents who worked so hard with Mr. Allen and Mrs. Malinka to make the camp such a great experience for all of the children: Charo Alcocer, Amy Corroon, Michael Pendergrast, Amber Perrick, Celina Poppe, and Eric and Maricruz Stevens. Thank you parents for your generous service!

Tonight, Lady Luck visits the camp for our annual Casino Night, followed by – as if we were not exhausted enough -- a quick game of Capture the Flag.
