Sherry Brown has been in th chorus for three years. She received a bachelor of arts in education from USC and is a former member of Carolina Alive. "It's a really good way, 1 think, for the university to provide a way for outside people to get involved," she said. "Once you leave school, if you've not majored in music, you're kind of left out "Dr. Conant is able to take people who were not music majors and pull out of them good music. . . .He actually makes learning music theory fun," she said. < The chorus primarily performs large vocal works, such : as oratorios, classics and masses. They arc often accompanied by the South Carolina Philharmonic Orchestra and University Symphony Orchestra, and they usually I perform at The Township auditorium. < u.... - - - uanuw uuuci wuiiu, a suosuiute teacher in Lexington County, is also in her third year with the chorus.
