Nebraska Today

🎶 More than 200 high school students from across the country recently gathered at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln for the National Show Choir Camp, a week-long experience focused on vocal performance, choreography and leadership. Guided by expert clinicians, choreographers and UNL alumni, campers sharpened their skills. As camp director Peter Eklund puts it, students gain “about a year’s worth of experience in a week” — and return home ready to lead their own show choir programs. Learn more: https://go.unl.edu/7urj
