AURORA, IL — Now that classes are out for the summer at Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora, choral director Mark Myers is doing what he loves best — teaching kids to sing together. He does it in show choir camps instead of school and works with kids from all over, not just the local area. If that sounds like a busman’s holiday, Myers isn’t complaining one bit. “It’s really what I do all the time and what interests me,” he said. “It truly is my job and my hobby.”
Myers’ dedication to kids and passion for teaching choral music has won him the respect of students, parents and his professional peers. This spring he received the National FAME Aspire Award, a Vocal Vanguard Award based on the number of online nominations he received from fellow members of the Academy of Show Choir Professionals around the country.
