Dear Choir Alumni, Colleagues, & Friends,
To every voice that ever filled my classroom, my stage, and my heart — this invitation is for you.
After 33 unforgettable years of teaching, learning, laughing, and making music together, I will be conducting my final concert in June. In thinking about this, there is only one way I can imagine closing this chapter…by singing one last time with all of the people who made it all so meaningful — all of YOU! 🥰
No matter how long ago you stood on these risers — whether it was 30 years ago, 10 years ago, or just recently — and no matter what level you were at- elementary, middle school, or high school- you will always be part of my choir family. Your voices, your courage, your growth, and your joy shaped my life in ways I can never fully put into words.
I would be deeply honored to invite all former choir singers of every age and every era to return and join me on stage for a special alumni performance during my final concert. This will be a celebration of memories, music, and the extraordinary community we built together.
You do not need to be “perfect.”
You only need to bring your voice, your heart, and the memories we share.
Let’s stand together one last time.
Let’s breathe together.
Let’s sing the music that carried us through so many seasons of our lives.
Thank you for being the reason these past 33 years were filled with harmony, laughter, and love. I cannot wait to see your faces and hear your voices once again. Because I was hacked a little while ago and I’ve not been able to rebuild all of my friends list, I am making this post public, hoping that those of you I tag, and those who see it but might not be my friend, will share this with anyone and everyone you sang side by side with under my tenure.
We will have a rehearsal in the OHS auditorium at 2:30 on Saturday, June 6, with the concert to follow at 6:30 pm the same night. The song you will sing will be the final song of the night.

No worries if you want to be there but are unable to make it; you will ALWAYS be with me, in all of the wonderful memories I have of you.
I look forward to seeing many of you again in June! 💙🧡🎶
