SCS Singers Go to Choral Festival

SCHOHARIE - Members of Schoharie high school Treble Choir and Leading Tones participated in SUNYSCCC's High School Choral Festival, organized by SUNYSCCC's choral director, Dr. Joseph Han, on Friday, October 24.

The choirs performed pieces and then were given feedback by this year's clinician, Bruce Rogers. He is the Choral Director Emeritus at Mt. San Antonio College, in Walnut, California, where he oversaw the department’s various vocal and choral programs. Mr. Rogers' groups have achieved top ranking in national and international competitions throughout the world. He was outstanding to work with and students gained valuable insight about their pieces and learned helpful performance strategies.

In addition, the students were able to hear performances from other choirs in the area including Schalmont, Niskayuna and Shenendehowa among others. Students were also able to attend workshops run by the faculty at SUNYSCCC with topics ranging from Musical Theater, Keyboard and Music Careers just to name a few.
