TERRITORIAL VOCAL CONVOCATION 2006

On Friday, March 3 – Sunday, March 5, 2006, serious adult vocalists from all over the Eastern Territory will be meeting at Camp Ladore Lodge in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania to meet with Major Leonard Ballantine (Territorial Music and Gospel Arts Secretary for Canada and Bermuda).

Please help me share this information to all in your corps who should enjoy the opportunity to attend this event. Salvationist adults 18 years and older who love vocal music, future leaders or corps vocal music groups and even entire songster brigades are encouraged to attend the convocation.

The cost per delegate for this event is $140.00. However, THQ will subsidize $40. Our Massachusetts Divisional Finance Council has approved subsidizing our delegates $50.00 if they are soldiers commissioned as songsters. The potential cost to delegates for the weekend is $50.00 each. However, if they are not commissioned songsters, their cost is $100.00. Requests for the Divisional subsidy needs to be directed to the Divisional Finance Council through the Corps Officer.

Corps Songster Brigades will have an opportunity to perform on a program with other groups and The Territorial Songsters. Please send a note to me with any confirmed delegate names from your corps so that I can forward them to THQ for registration before January 28, 2006. Thank you for your assistance. Let’s have a good representation from Massachusetts. YOU don’t want to miss this wonderful fellowship. Contact the Music & Gospel Arts Department if you have any questions (617-542-5420)
