Welcome, Brian Kittredge, as the Interim Director of Choral Activities at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.You have a great choir to work with and I am sure you will do an outstanding job.
And for the rest of us, a little about Mr. Kittredge:
Brian is a native of Binghamton, New York, but has lived in south Louisiana for the past four years. He is currently a doctoral student in the choral conducting program at LSU. Prior to LSU, Brian taught middle and high school general music, conducted three choirs, and directed the annual musical production at the Louise S. McGehee School in New Orleans.

Great musician and friend! Welcome Brian!
Welcome!
How do you know he practices yoga..... creepy...
Well, Sami, I copied it from the church website that printed the bio that I'm fairly sure he wrote. Just sayin'.
Y'all Brian is a good friend of mine and he is a fantastic musician and person. You are all getting a great conductor and he has expressed to me that he is VERY EXCITED and looking forward to the fall!!
hahahaaha @ Sami.
Cope, you have to stop creepin' on ppl via the internet. lol
& we're all excited about working w/him, Nick.
also,
I just want to make it clear
that Cope, got "just sayin'"
from ME!
...just sayin'
(and now that I'm thinking about it...don't you dare go and use "JANKY" over at SamU) lol
Ahem.
For the record: I got the word "janky" from Ryan - or was it Brian? I got "just sayin" from Nancy.
I doubt I will ever use the word janky. It is so "last year." Just sayin'.
AHEM!
AHEM!
AHEM!
YOU GOT JANKY FROM ME!
(RYAN!) (NOT BRIAN!)
and Nancy MUST have stolen "JUST SAYIN" from me!
i mean, come on!
don't start dissin' janky now!
it has seen us through plenty of sketchy situations!
& don't go get all RATCHET on me, P.Co (you've a new nickname, again)

I'm pretty sure Brian Denton made up "janky." Or, at least, made it popular amongst the choir.
(you know what...i'm not gonna let this bother me, bc I know you're trying to get under my skin)
I made janky popular in choir this year. everyone knows this,
and other Alum long before my time had been using it as well...
ie: Anthony Concepcion, Sean Fleischman,
but Brian Denton, sir, did not!
i mean, come on...he's from Mount Olive, Alabama....lol, you think they use that word in those parts?
no offense Brian D, lol
I'm just sayin'...Nancy
Have you noticed that Ryan always needs to have the last word?
(glares accordingly, in silence)
Question!
The new dude stays with us for how long?
Possibility #1: BK stays one year.
Possibility #2: BK wins the permanent job, stays until he leaves.
Question #2
Do we know whether he is auditioning for the spots in the choir or..?
yes,
Auditions are Sunday, August 15th!
3p-4:30p for the Men,
4:30p-6p for the Women.
8p for call backs if needed.
Leah, get back on FB...lol,
