… thank you to the Transylvania County Choral Society and Dr. David Gresham (conductor) for today’s all-day training and coaching workshop with the All County Middle School Chorus… the performance tonight was incredible… wonderful for the community (free concert) and great experience for the kids to be able to work with Dr. Gresham…

… sadly, one Matt’s chorus members and friend, Ashley, wasn’t able to be here tonight… she’s battling bone cancer… there’s an effort at Brevard Middle School to raise money to help the family… if you’re interested in helping, let me know and I’ll let you know where to send donations… :-(
