General Announcements
Archdiocese offers two choir ‘re-boot’ camps on Aug. 14 and 21
Andrew Motyka, director of archdiocesan and cathedral liturgical music, will offer two choir “re-boot” camps for parish choir members and directors in August.
The first opportunity will take place at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral, 1347 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis, from 9 a.m.-noon on Aug. 14.
The second camp is at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, 1752 Scheller Lane, in New Albany, from 9 a.m.-noon on Aug. 21.
The camps will provide a morning of education and habit-building for singers, and help for directors to maintain healthy singing among their choirs. Time will be spent on singing anatomy, body mapping, breathing, posture and exercises and warm-ups for participants to take with them to mitigate the effects of not singing together for so long.
The cost is $10, which includes lunch.
To register for the Indianapolis camp, go to cutt.ly/RebootIndy. To register for the New Albany camp, go to cutt.ly/RebootNA. †
