High School Rally sponsors musicians

by Bill Casey

This year’s Diocesan High School Rally on April 6 in Springfield will include music with a "local touch!" For the first time, high school musicians and/or vocalists will be selected from throughout the Diocese to share in the music of the day, specifically the liturgy.

During the month of January, every diocesan parish will be asked to submit the names of two high school aged musicians or vocalists. Those selected will be asked to come to an all day musicians' retreat on Saturday, April 5, in Springfield. The retreat will be coordinated by Dr. Nick Abraham, a national musician from Baton Rouge, LA. He will direct the selected youth and prepare them for the Rally music and liturgy to be held the following day on Sunday, April 6, 2003. Youth will be challenged to work together and have the opportunity to meet other great youth from all over the diocese.
