Maude Sanders Children's Choir traveled to Bradley University on Friday to have a workshop with Dr. Boulton and The Bradley Chorale. It was a wonderful afternoon of making music across generations. MSCC performed two of their pieces from their upcoming concert including "Fanga Alafia" arranged by Andy Beck, and "Hola Media Luna" by Laura and Eddie Cavazos and Trevor Phillips. Chorale then shared a performance of "See That Babe" arranged by Stacey Gibbs, before joining our kids on the risers to sing "This Little Light of Mine" by Rollo Dilworth. We then got to enjoy a question and answer session where our kids got the opportunity to get answers about music, college, and life from Chorale members, Mr. Lohrer, and Dr. Boulton. Thank you so much to Dr. Boulton, The Bradley Chorale, and Michelle Brower who accompanied our choir not only for the day but came to our rehearsal on Wednesday to give our kids the chance to sing with her before the trip. Thanks also to Mrs. Davis and the parent volunteers who helped chaperone. MSCC will be giving their first annual Spring Concert on Thursday, May 14, 6:00pm, at Imago Dei Church! Mark your calendars!
