Panhandle Festival

Camp Timpoochee (4-H Camp) Niceville, Florida

September 21-23, 2012

Ever dreamed about singing in a good 100-man chorus directed by an international level director ?  Would you like to have individualized coaching for your chorus and quartets ?  Are you willing to spend an intense weekend honing your singing skills?

If the answer is “YES!” then you need to attend our annual Joe Breedon Panhandle Regional Festival in Niceville, FL September 21-23, 2012.  The retreat is a District sponsored event and hosted by the Emerald Coast Chorus of Fort Walton Beach.  The event has been held continuously for the past 24 years.  It is held at a 4H camp (http://florida4h.org/camps/timpoochee.shtml) two miles east of Niceville, situated on the Northwest coast of the beautiful Choctawhatchee Bay. We rent the entire facility for the weekend.  All facilities within the Camp are air conditioned.  There are cabins (capacity: 140 people, 5 bunks to a cabin), a large cafeteria, a small theater, and rehearsal areas.  All of these are located within a four block area, an easy walking distance – and the price for the entire weekend is less than $100 !. 

The weekend concludes with a contest and show on Saturday evening. And, yes, we DO have an afterglow – food, beverages and singing around a campfire.  Come prepared to have a BLAST!! Our Dean of Music this year is Alex Rubin so you know this will be “top shelf” barbershop !
