We are thrilled to announce that the Choral Review presented by Bonita Cross and Laurel Palmer, is making its triumphant return in September 2026!

For those unaware, the Choral Review is led by Bonita with Laurel playing the piano. It is a chance to sing through song selections as a group in preparation for the Holiday Season.

It is a fantastic opportunity to:

• Get some recommendations for the upcoming Holiday season.

• Sing through them with other choral directors.

• Ascertain the difficulty in regards to your group in real time.

This Choral Review is covering Christmas, Thanksgiving, and other Sacred music. Since we are running through them early, it gives you plenty of time to prepare. You have time to get approval, if needed, from any higher ups in your organization. You also have time to order the music and rehearse it with your group before the season gets busy.

The song selections for each review is carefully curated by Bonita herself on the ones she thinks are the best of the best for the upcoming season. This year we have 16 Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other Sacred choral pieces, which will include both new and previously cherished anthems for you to consider. This selection will include arrangements from familiar favorites, such as Mary McDonald, Philip Stopford, Ruth Schram, Hal Hopson, Trevor Manor, and more.

Once you purchase your packet, you are more than welcome to attend the choral review to get the most out of your music! The packet will contain all 16 selections at a discounted rate of $19.95 (retail price is over $45.00!!). Currently, the packets are available for Pre-Order both online and in-store.

So please mark your calendars for September 18th and 19th because the Choral Review is making its anticipated return! Further details are listed below.
