The twelve week session is for students currently enrolled at the Waymer Afterschool Program. The program will begin on Thursday, February 26, 2009 for twelve weeks. “The broad appeal of choral singing is based in the opportunity it gives each singer to participate in an activity that involves them artistically, builds community, enhances their skills, and results in a product of great beauty.
