In addition to completing the closing
checklists, the residents must complete and sign
the Condition Report (“RCR”) with the RA.
Express check-out requires residents to

student will be held responsible for any damages
left to the room or common area.

Brevard Meets Carnegie Hall
By Carmen Boone
staff Writer
On Friday, April 20, the Brevard Chamber
Singers among others got on a flight to New York
for a performance at Carnegie Hall.
The Chamber Singers, the Transylvania Choral
Society, Dr. David and Dr. Kathryn Gresham,
Dr. Vance Reese and David and Lynn Joyce all
attended the trip. Dr. David Gresham was chosen
to conduct at Carnegie Hall by a presenting
organization.
Other conductors that have given performances
are asked to recommend a conductor they
think deserves the experience. The conductor
recommended is then notified and given the
opportunity to bring a musical group and
conduct at Carnegie Hall. The song Gresham
chose to showcase was Faure’s “Requiem.”
When asked to describe Carnegie Hall,
Gresham described it as having a “warm sound,
grand, historied,” and said, “It was surreal being
in the same place as my musical idols had
been.” He listed a few historic composers. The
most exciting part of the trip for Gresham was
conducting on stage. He felt the full impact of the
experience during a particular part of “Requiem”
when the choir was singing “Hosannas” and all
of the brass instruments joined in. He said that
it was pretty incredible.
The group arrived in New York on Friday
night and left on the following Tuesday. They
spent those four days just experiencing New
York. Different people from the group went to
see Broadway shows such as “Kinky Boots,
Chicago, Book of Mormon and Producer.” They
also went to Central Park and had some great
food. They all agreed that the weather was a
little chilly, but overall it was good due to the
lack of rain.
Performing at Carnegie Hall was an amazing
opportunity for Brevard as a whole. The trip
was enjoyable for all who attended and it had
a big impact.
