Concordia College

2010 Concordia College Choral Festival

Save the Date: Friday, Jan. 22 and Saturday, Jan. 23

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does the festival cost?

The registration is free!  But, as you work on budgets and students ask how much money they should bring, there are a few "travel expenses" you should consider.  As choir director, you will be responsible for your personal Friday night housing expense, as well as breakfast for yourself on Saturday.  As far as student expenses, if you are traveling, factor in Friday evening dinner expense on the road (or if the student prefers, they could pack a meal from home to save time and money.)  The other meal on the road will be Saturday evening after dismissal.  And lastly, your transportation expenses.  We can provide you, upon request, a list of other area schools who will be attending in case you have an interest in ridesharing. 

2. What room and board is included?

Concordia provides the following:

Friday evening: Pizza after rehearsal around 9 p.m.; on-campus housing will be available for students.  Current Concordia choir members have graciously volunteered their rooms for this purpose.  Gordon and Sue will work out these details.  Specific information will be given to each student at registration.  If you would like to make a request for your students to room with a specific person, for example, a current Concordia student who lives on campus from your hometown, please feel free to make that request known.  Nothing is more welcoming than a familiar face!

Saturday: Breakfast, refreshments and lunch will be provided to the students.  Refreshments and lunch will be provided to the directors.

3. Do I need to purchase the music for my students?

Yes, or perhaps you know someone from whom you could borrow the music for a short time.   Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel, arr. Moses Hogan is currently available at an affordable price online at J.W. Pepper or at your preferred retailer.  Dr. Clausen's newest piece, Prayer, is now available from Roger Dean Publishing by calling 1-800-444-1144, Ext. 1.  Order catalogue number 15/2708R.

4. What time do we need to be there, and how do I get there?

Registration begins at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, January 22.  The Agenda for both days can be accessed here.  The schedule may be subject to change.  Directions can be accessed here.

5. What do my students need to bring?

An overnight bag and a sleeping bag.
