Speaking with students in Johnstown, PA

Tonight we had the fun opportunity to do a workshop for some interested music students and teachers in conjunction with our performance here in Johnstown, PA. We introduced ourselves, sang some songs, and touched on many aspects of what we do, spending the most time talking about and demonstrating some of the different elements of ensemble singing such as blend, rehearsal techniques, phrasing, and mic technique. We also touched a bit on scat singing and arranging. We were asked a lot of great questions and time just flew by. We really appreciated everyone's enthusiasim and attentiveness and we hope we've made some new friends who will keep in touch. We are very encouraged when we meet so many great young people who are interested this music. It's very important to us that this music continue to be performed and enjoyed by people of all ages and educational opportunities such as this are key in developing and cultivating a new generation of swing music lovers to ensure this music continues to live on.
