The session will take the form of a moderated, day-long rehearsal, led by Steve. Steve Tramack will act as the moderator, capturing key takeaways and approaches, along with providing opportunities to review successes and give frontline directors a chance to spend time out in front with Steve Armstrong. The workshop attendees will act as the chorus, and should arrive knowing the selected music (the David Wright arrangement of "Love Me, and the World is Mine" - part recordings will be available for download after registration, and sheet music will be mailed to participants).
