The 2025 Bellevue Youth Choral Festival was a rousing success. On September 20, 170 choir students from 7 east side high schools came together at Bellevue High School for a day of learning and fun. Under the guidance of clinicians Iain Haukka and Melissa Pope the students and their directors and the quartet Top Spin, supported by more than 35 volunteers from the Bellevue and Seattle Chapters, the Festival went off without a hitch.

As the day progressed the students bonded with the men of Top Spin. As the students stood in line for a free lunch, Top Spin taught them tags. Two other quartets circulated through the crowd also singing for and with them. By the time of the evening show Iain, Melissa and Top Spin had melded the students into a cohesive choir, one that brought the audience to their feet when they performed for friends and family.

If you are a high school or youth choir director on the east side of the Puget Sound and have not yet signed up for the Festival, please reconsider. It will take place on Friday, March 22 at Sammamish High School in Bellevue. This is a teacher resource day for many school districts, so if you are available, why not join us for a day of fun!

Our world class clinicians will be sharing ideas on instruction in a ca****la singing, the students will be learning, getting free food and shirts, and having fun! Even if you can't bring a whole choir, bring those students who are available. It is a unique opportunity, one your students will remember for a long, long time.
