On November 14-18, 2013, members of the Wetumpka High School choir, under the direction of Jon O’Rourke, will be attending an Honor Choir workshop in New York, New York, in preparation for a concert at Carnegie Hall on the evening of the 17th.  The Honor Choir will be directed by Dr. John Ratledge from the University of Alabama and will feature high school singers from around the country.  This is an opportunity not only to perform at the most prestigious venue in the United States but also to perform some magnificent music.  Tickets are available through www.midamerica-music.com.

 

We are currently looking for sponsors to help defray the cost this trip.  The total cost of the trip is $9000, which the students need to raise in order to participate in this opportunity of a lifetime: Johnathan Albert, Andrea Barclay, Jessie Esco, Kaylee Green, Kelsie Green, Jess Howard, Victoria Loftin, and Josh Norrell.   If you are interested in partnering with our school to help make this dream happen, please contact choir director Mr. Jon O’Rourke at Wetumpka High School (334)567-5158 or jonathon.orourke@elmoreco.com. Patrons will be recognized in the Wetumpka High School Performing Arts Program as well as receiving tickets to watch upcoming Musical Theatre and Madrigal performances. Thank you in advance for your support!
