Conductor’s Note
Welcome to Dance Party!
I can’t think of a better way to kick off summer than with a celebration of some of our favorite dance hits. This has been such a fun show to put together, and we look forward to sharing our music with you. I’m so proud of this group of singers and all their hard work. They learned an incredible amount of music in a short time, and they sound amazing, plus some of our members are pulling double-duty tonight and dancing for a couple of the pieces! Usually, I’d invite you to join us for our next session, but I’m excited to say that our fall session is already sold out! If you’d like to join us in the future, we’d love to have you head to our website and sign up for our mailing list so that you can find out right away when our next round of registration opens. We hope you enjoy our show tonight and are ready to dance the night away!
