Major13 , the Estes Park High School’s vocal jazz ensemble, will sing at the Rotary Club of Estes Park on Thursday, December 10, at their regular noon meeting.
Consisting of the top 13 vocalists from the choral program at the EPHS, Major13 is under the direction of Dr. Alan Denney. The ensemble performs all over the state of Colorado and regularly sings at the UNC/Greeley Jazz Festival.
Dr. Alan Denney is in his 10th year as choral director at the EPHS. He has studied conducting with Dr. James Jordan, Dr. Gary Graden, and Dr. Rodney Eichenberger. This year, a record 110 students participate in one of the four choral ensembles at the EPHS, which represents 30 percent of the school’s student population!
We hope that you enjoy their performance!
Please note that all family members, friends and other community members are very welcome to join us for the performance.

Bob Fulton, our Duck Race Social Media Chair, has asked me to compile a list of contacts who have expressed a willingness to incorporate marketing messages we create for the Duck Race Festival into their social media efforts. If you are involved with social media (Facebook, etc.) and would like to receive our messages please let me know before the end of the year. Expanding our social media efforts provides the best opportunity to expand our adoption form sales. So do let me hear from you. Rene Moquin
