CJ Greer has recently joined the Music and Music Theatre faculty at UNR (University of Nevada, Reno) implementing a new Musical Theatre degree program and creating crossover vocal training tracks. CJ found her passion in vocal performance and instruction. She carries an MFA and MM in Musical Theatre and Classical Performance and Pedagogy from Penn State University and a BME from the University of Illinois/Champaign-Urbana. CJ has performed around the world from theme parks to Broadway to Carnegie Hall. She is a singer, actor, teacher, and conductor with an undying love for storytelling through music. She has received national acclaim for her a cappella musical arrangements, has arranged and developed revue shows for cruise ships, cabaret shows, and is currently developing her own one-woman show with music from John Kander.
Members of the band are under the direction of Gary Smith who retired after 24 years as conductor of the University of Illinois Marching Illini Band and Symphonic Band. Gary says, “The talent of these musicians is tremendous, ranging in age from 16 to 90.”
