the arrow & the song in river falls

I drove over to River Falls, Wisconsin on Thursday to work with the River Falls High School Symphonic SSA Choir on The Arrow and The Song. The dry erase board in their classroom informed them to be on time for their session with "Maestro Shank" so it was a classy operation all around.
















Their director, Tony Mudra, commissioned The Minstrel Boy a few years ago and I've known him for years. They performed it really, really well and we had a blast working together talking about tone, poetry, phrasing and all that good stuff.
















Here's their "wacky" picture. Go Wildcats!
