LTYC director, Mr. Kevin Wells has asked that newsingers arrive at 6:00pm so he can touch base with them and hear them sing a bit. This is not an audition. It is a chance for Mr. Wells to hear how the singer will best fit into our group. Beginning on Thursday, September 21, the Youth Choir rehearsals will be held from 6:00pm-8:00pm at Cross of Christ Lutheran Church. Parents will not need to stay for these rehearsals.
