Boys of the Month
For the young men of the month, the GGBC would like to recognize and thank our four theory assistants: Julian Menjivar, Fatafehi Tuitavake, Richard Clark-Landry and Christopher Dobbins.
Julian Menjivar
Julian is a graduate of the GGBC program and attends Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward. He assists Mr. Meyer at the Thursday Hayward rehearsals. Julian sings under the direction of Maestro Evan Alparone in the concert choir at Moreau.
Fatafehi Tuitavake
Fatafehi Tuitavake is a graduate of the GGBC program and attends Junipera Serra Catholic High School for Boys in San Mateo, where he also sings in the Men's Choir. Fehi assists Mr. Meyer with the All Saints School Children's Choir and the GGBC Hayward practice on Thursdays as well.
Richard Clark-Landry
Richard Landry Clarke attends Saint Mary's College Preparatory in Berkeley, and plays the clarinet in the school band. A GGBC alumnus, Richard has served the longest as a theory assistant. He has almost perfected his teacher's persona and challenges the boys to get their work done! Wednesday boys in Oakland are the beneficiaries of his guidance.
Christopher Dobbins
Christopher Dobbins has come on board to assist Richard in Oakland at the Wednesday practices. Chris attends Saint Joseph High School in Alameda, and is a member of the Advanced Choir there.
Learning the theory of music behind what we do in rehearsal and in performance makes for a more rounded and better informed choir member. Our rehearsal assistants make a valuable contribution to the GGBC program. Thank you all, gentlemen!
