DCC Thanks you!
Be a CHORAL MENTOR for one of our choirs!!
The choral mentor program will kick off in Fall, 2011 and we are excited to bring as many people and choirs together to make it come to life for our children. The intention of the program is to use experienced singers from the community to encourage and teach our younger choir students about the world of choral music and its possibilities!
The mentors would be asked to attend rehearsals and sit side-by-side with our students to encourage and guide the children of DCC as they enter the world of choral music. This is a very minimal yet rewarding commitment for the mentors and our hope is that their excitement will spread throughout the choral community!
Here is where we need YOU! If you think you or other members of your choir would be interested in serving as mentors for a DCC choir, please help us spread the word and speak to your choir about this new outreach opportunity. We want to start the season with mentors in place so that our students can begin to learn from you, the caring choral community!
For more information about this opportunity, please contact Megan Wright at megan_starr@hotmail.com or 248-767-2339.
FILM SCREENING

The Detroit Film Theater
This event is free to the public.
The next installment of The Firehouse Detroit Project is a film presentation premiering at the historic Detroit Film Theater. The film captures the most recent Firehouse installation that temporarily transformed, the abandoned Engine #4 into an art piece and culminated in an unforgettable live performance.
The screening will unfold in three acts and features a live score, choreographed interludes and performances by the Detroit Children’s Choir and the Detroit Firemen’s Honor Guard. This one-time film screening pays tribute to the spirit of Detroit and all of the nation’s fire fighters on the tenth anniversary of September 11th.
