The LBC Chorale can also be heard on the latest Christmas album by the rock band August Burns Red.

His Shoreline ensembles were selected to perform for two Washington Music Educators Association All-State conferences and toured extensively with concerts throughout the Pacific Northwest as well as Spain, Ireland, California, and in New York's Carnegie Hall.

Judy DuBose
Elementary School Chorus Conductor
Judy DuBose is Artistic Director and Founder of The Frederick Childrenʼs Chorus, which she established in 1985. Under her guidance, The Frederick Children's Chorus has grown from a handful of children to a chorus of 150 singers. Her vision for the chorus has resulted in a music education program that includes ensembles for children as young as five years old
and provides challenging musicianship classes and performance opportunities for singers through their high school years. She began a seventeen-year tradition of presenting The Messiah Sing-along at the Weinberg Center with the high school-aged ensembe, orchestra and
soloists. The Frederick Childrenʼs Chorus offers internships for high school students, summerchorus camp, and opportunities for chorus members to travel and sing in distant cities, directed by esteemed choral directors, and meet singers from other choruses. These choral
exchanges have provided singers with lasting memories.
