Size matters.

960. Or perhaps 1,677. It’s an interesting question.

The camp for children who love to sing returns to Ada this summer.

Summer Sounds Choral Festival is a half-day day choral experience for rising 2nd through 9th graders where they learn choral repertoire and performance techniques, develop their musical skills through movement and music games, and have special classes with Orff-Schulwerk instruments. Camp dates are Aug. 5 to Aug. 9.

Experienced music teachers teach all classes and are assisted by ONU music majors and local, talented youth.
