A quick announcement/reminder: our concluding concert this year will be held on Friday June 29th at 7PM at Naugatuck High School. We are very excited to be returning back to this beautiful auditorium to share all of the wonderful musical work we put together during the week of camp. A reminder for campers on Concert Dress: We ask that students wear “concert black” for the concert. While tuxedos and formal dresses are not needed, we do ask that campers dress nicely for the event. We like to think of it as Sunday’s best attire, rather than black tie.
Please make sure to practice your chicken dance moves and we'll see you so soon! Hey Laurel People!
We've had an overwhelmingly great start to our registration season! Hingham, MA and Newington, CT currently have the most students registered with 8 campers each that will join us in June! How exciting :) Many more districts across the northeast are represented... Cheshire, Trumbull, Naugatuck, Coventry and a few students joining us from NYC just to name a few! For those 112 campers that have already registered, ACCEPTANCE PACKETS WILL BE SENT OUT IN THE COMING WEEKS. These packets will have additional information on: required forms, contact information, packing lists and much, much more. We know you have tons of questions... answers are on the way! Haven't registered yet? No sweat! But: spots are filling up QUICKLY so we highly recommend adding it to your to-do list ASAP! We are specifically looking to fill out the following sections of our ensembles: violin, string bass, male vocalists, trombone and french horn. Make sure to spread the word! ALL THINGS REGISTRATION: http://www.laurelmusiccamp.com/registration.html Good Morning Laurel Music Camp! Registration has opened and spaces are filling up quick! We're just as excited as all of you :) We wanted to share some reminders of our guest conductors for the 2018 season:
Three of our conductors from last season will be returning, and we have a new but familiar face leading our choir for the first time: Nhung Truong!  Nhung Truong is a Choral Director and the Coordinator of Applied Music at the Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, MA. At Nobles, she conducts the Upper School Concert Choir, Middle School Chorus, Imani (Gospel and Multi-Cultural ensemble), and music directs the Nobleonians (all-male a cappella group) the Half-Notes (middle school a cappella group), and the annual school musical. Before moving to the Boston area, Nhung taught choral music and IB Music at Sturgis Charter Public School in Hyannis, MA, was a graduate conductor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst where she conducted the Recital Choir and the Women’s Choir, and directed choirs at the United Church of Bernardston and Berkshire Hills Music Academy. In 2016, Nhung was the Music Director at the Cotuit Center for the Arts for their summer mainstage musical Oklahoma! She has also guest taught at local high schools coaching young conductors. Nhung is an active member of the Massachusetts Music Educators Association (MMEA) and the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA). She has held several volunteer leadership positions within these organizations, including Assistant Manager of the MMEA Eastern District Senior Chorus, for whom she will serve as Manager in 2019. Nhung also published an article for the Massachusetts Music Educators Journal titled Do Years of Teaching Experience and Degrees Affect the Hiring Process? As a performer, Nhung sings alto in the Seraphim Singers, a semi-professional choir based in Boston. Nhung has attended Laurel Music Camp since 2005 as a camper, Junior Counselor, and as a Senior Staff Member. She is entering her sixth year on Senior Staff and during this time she has served as Assistant Choir Chair and Choir Chair. Nhung holds a Master of Music in Choral Conducting from UMass-Amherst and a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education from Providence College. Her conducting mentors include Dr. Tony Thornton and Dr. T.J. Harper. We can't wait to see you all on June 23rd! Spots are filling up fast, so if you haven't registered yet get to it! All information can be found on our website.
