As chief ding-a-ling at Collegiate, I wave my arms at five choirs, whether they're watching or not! Encompassing sixth graders through senior citizens, the choirs provide music for services one Sunday a month and most Sundays during Advent. A Christmas concert with the Collegiate Brass and an all-choir spring concert are two special events.
