About the Music Crew:
In the fall of 2013, Drs. Mary Rose and Luke Norell (known as "Dr. Mary Rose" and "Dr. Luke") founded children's choirs at Beardsley and Osolo Elementary schools after encouragement from Brian Wiebe of Horizon Education Alliance and the Elkhart Boys & Girls Club program. The choirs, funded by a 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant, have spent time in valuable areas:
- Learning to sing wonderful folk and contemporary music
- Studying classical music with Dr. Luke's weekly "Spotlight" series on different composers
- Practicing healthy vocal technique
- Performing in exciting venues throughout the year
* Sauder Concert Hall at the Goshen College Music Center (Goshen IN)
* Lerner Ballroom at the Lerner Theater (Elkhart IN)
* Jamestown United Methodist Church (Jimtown IN)
* The Old Bag Factory (Goshen IN)
* Concord Mall (Elkhart IN)
Congratulations to the Music Crew (Osolo's Bobcat Choir + Beardsley's Let it Shine choir) for their performances at Goshen College and Osolo Elementary! They were excellent hosts and singers!
