 Tour Choir Directed by Janeal Krehbiel
The 75- voice tour choir consists of singers in the 5th - 9th grades who demonstrate advanced abilities in choral singing and music reading. The choir is a two-semester commitment. Tuition is $640 and is nonrefundable. Additional costs are for uniform, tickets to performances, and any desired professional photos or CD recordings. Auditions for the LCC Tour Choir take place every spring. Please check back on our website for future auditions dates to be held in 2011. Over the past 20 seasons, members have been privileged to perform for many prestigious events. In March 2009 the choir was invited to sing at the American Choral Conductor's Association 50th annual conference in Oklahoma, with a premier performance of an arrangement by Eric Whitacre.

In June of 2009, the choir toured and performed through the Baltic countries of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The 2009-2010 season ended with several paid performances and a fun-filled tour through our home state, witnessing both the beauty and the quirks of Kansas.
We are working to secure funding for three clinics during the tour, offering the children the chance to lead by example while fostering musical fellowship. Our repertoire will feature American masterpieces and we will explore how our history and culture have influenced our musical traditions. Plans for the spring concert include inviting political representatives as a kick-off for our Kansas tour and to usher in our 20th anniversary season. Here's what past tour choir members have said about their experiences with LCC: "LCC was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had and will have. This choir will be a part of me forever. It has changed me for the better. Without LCC I might still be a shy girl who is afraid to let her voice be heard. Here's to Song." -Julia Price "Little did I know that that first scary audition was the beginning of a long musical journey. The LCC staff has inspired me never to stop singing and I am so grateful for the training I received." -Catherine Norwood LCC Tour Choir Members' Area
