Congratulations on being chosen for the Stafford or Loudoun All-County Men's Chorus!  I am honored and excited to be conducting these two groups.  I am a huge advocate of young men singing!  Please take the time to download and PRACTICE with the practice tracks provided here.  Your enjoyment of any honor choir event is directly related to your preparation.  Two of the pieces, "Yo le canto todo el dia" and "Lydia, the Tattooed Lady" must be memorized, though our goal will be to perform everything without music.

 

To download all tracks for your voice part at once, save the zipped folder to your device and extract the files to your music folder or iTunes. You'll be able to play them whenever!

This is my 8th Grade Men's Chorus singing Yo le canto todo el dia from four years ago.  The singing is only decent but the claps are crisp and precise!!
