“This is my favorite day of the whole year. I get to meet the elementary kids. I get to meet the sixth graders, and get to show them a little bit of my personality and how I run a rehearsal, so they can have an idea, if they sign up for choir next year, this is a little bit of what it’s like. I love letting Mr. Schwartz work with my kids, when he says things that I say in class, then they believe me. Anything that he does reinforces what I do, it helps us.” – middle school director Jaime Tanner
