There just wasn’t a lot of energy. This year, we’re excited to be back on campus, but we’re really being mindful of safety regulations

students can comprise a group, using and building on the skills they’ve learned online so far. “They still want to be challenged, and interact with each other,” Brizuela says. “They still want to sing.” After being online for a year, there’s been a learning curve for students who need to rebuild confidence around in-person singing.
