Scholarships are going well. The McCowen recipient is becoming a music major, so will be seeking a new recipient for fall semester. Also hope to add a second McCowen Scholarship. Molison briefly reviewed the financial situation of the choral music program. Noted that the Honor Choir lost a bit this year, but overall the budget situation remains flat.
Fund raising efforts continue.
They will leave May 12 and arrive in Melbourne May 14. Six concerts will be given. The prices for students went down slightly by adjusting some restaurant locations. Following the Australia tour, Molison and Don Simonson will travel to Taiwan. Molison is conducting the Carmina Burana and Simonson is giving a recital at the teacher s college.
