The North Carolina Summer Instit

"the camp itself was really cool. we learned all this music in a week and i just got the CD and it is AMAZING!! i was thinking if this chorus could do this good in a week, our chorus at school could be rediculous after a semester if we work really hard and focus on the music. i think it helped me a lot to work with such a demanding teacher, he was really good too. i got kinda good at sight reading because he expected us to be able to sing it correctly on first sight. it was hard not knowing anyone there and it was kinda lonely for a few days but then i met some people. i am going to go next year because the theme will be African American spirituals and I LOVE singing that type of music. thanks for telling me about it! �-shay" senior high singer
