First Unitarian Society of Madison - Children's & Teen Choirs

Heather Thorpe is stepping down as director of FUS's Children's and Youth Choirs after 29 years. As a gift, I would like to present her with a compilation of thank you videos from some of the people whose lives she has touched.

Current and former singers, parents of singers, congregants, and coworkers are invited to please submit a video! Here's how:
Your video may feature one person or more than one person.
Choose a background you're proud of. Please stabilize your phone or camera using a tripod or similar, orient your camera landscape (wide), and make sure there is light on your face.
Introduce yourself however you'd like, then tell Heather how she and the FUS Youth & Children's Choir program positively affected you. Ideally, you would limit your video to 30 seconds or less.
Please submit your video by April 8. Use your name as the name of your video file. Drop your videos into this Google Drive file: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Wkf7dj1uezssHe7xyAu1JEW66uooFhj1?usp=drive_link.

If you have any trouble at all, simply email me the video at this address, or reach out to me so I can help.

All of the videos will be compiled into one long video and gifted to Heather as a keepsake. A few of the videos may be shown on April 13 during worship. If you do *not* want your video shown publicly for any reason, please let me know via email.

Please forward this message to anybody who sang under Heather's direction. We want to reach everybody! Heather knows we're doing this, so you don't need to keep it a secret.

Thank you so much!
-Drew
