Choir Clinics

Do you have a regularly scheduled choir clinic? If so, how often do you have them and what is the typical format for your clinic? We just had Mr. Jerry Maxwell here over the weekend to work with our choir. We had a 2 hour rehearsal Friday night, a voice class for men on Saturday afternoon, a choir dinner, followed by a 2 hour rehearsal on Saturday evening. The choir then sang all 3 songs that we had worked on during the rehearsals in the AM service. It seemed to work well for our situation.

I would love to hear what others do in this regard.

BTW- Pepper Choplin has a CD which features several very humorous songs that deal with choirs, and choir directors that we used for our dinner. They were a hit!
