Welcome to MusicMakers 2020 !!

Thank you for visiting the Performers page for MusicMakers 2020.  Here, you can find all the information you need to make your experience at MusicMakers as fun and exciting as it should be!   There is information regarding some massed choir rehearsals where we bring everyone together on a Friday evening for an extra practice.  It’s super fun and helps get everyone really energized in the weeks prior to the show.  Here, you will also find the massed choir music as well as some mp3’s to help you learn the song.

If ever you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.  No question is a silly question, and I’m very happy to help you in any way I can.

Happy music making!!

Tim

There are two massed choir pieces.  I highly encourage every school to sing and participate.  Singing with hundreds of other kids is a unique opportunity and a memory that lasts a lifetime.  Below are PDF’s of the music, and the words.
