Music in Your Life is a pre-conference choral “warm up” to the Higher Things conferences this summer in both Minnesota and North Carolina. This opportunity is available to the 75 members of the choirs that will musically lead the conferences in worship throughout the week in both locations. The 75 singers for each site will be selected from a submitted tape or CD containing samples of the entrant’s singing. All tapes or CDs should be submitted to Mr. LaCroix by March 1, 2007 along with a completed application form. You must be registered to attend a Higher Things conference to attend the corresponding Pre-Conference Workshop. Applicants will be notified regarding acceptance by March 26, 2007.
Approximately 10 adult chaperones/participants will also be needed for this workshop. Interested adults do not need to audition but will need to submit an application form.
