-Dr. Loyd Hawthorne-Dr. Loyd Hawthorne directs Voci d'Amici in the summers. Although officially "retired" in 2007 as Director of Choral Activities at HSU after a fulfilling 33 year career at the school, he has hardly retired. From 2008-2009 he served as Interim Director of Choral Activities at Baylor University, and from 2015-2016 he served at ACU as Interim Director of Choral Activities. He holds a Bachelor's degree from Lamar University, a Master of Music degree from Baylor, and a DMA in Choral Conducting from the University of Texas at Austin. He has served as President, Past-President, and Vice President of the Texas Choral Director's Association. He received the Choral Excellence award at TCDA in 2009 for his devotion to the art of Choral Music. For nine years, Dr. Hawthorne lead the Texas Baptist All-State Youth Choir, later known as Master's Voices. In 2014 he received the highest TCDA award, the Texas Choirmaster Award. He is now a nationally recognized clinician and spends his summers leading professional musicians and alumni of HSU, Baylor University, and more with the vocal group Voci d'Amici. He will be working with Legacy Ladies, Chamber Choir, and Varsity Women and we are excited to host him! -North Texas Show Choir Invitational-The Legacy Silver Elite Show Choir will be hosting the North Texas Show Choir Invitational on Friday, February 8, at the MISD Center for Performing Arts.
