Cross-Ties 2 November 2011


Our Western Montana AA Choir Festival, Cross-Ties 2, was held in November. Our gracious host was Flathead High School. Our fabulous guest director was Dr. Geoffrey Boers from the University of Washington in Tacoma. The students really enjoyed singing for Dr. Boers. We all learned so much from this dynamic conductor. After two days of rehearsal, the Cross Town Choirs combined for a wonderful concert - an event our community looks forward to every year. Thank you to Mr. Allen-Schmid and Dr. Boers for a great festival. Check out more pics at this link
