Student Staff

Students from the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University gain valuable experience working with and teaching choirboys through college employment programs. In addition to office work, they teach theory, piano, voice lessons, and assist with music rehearsals and sectionals.

In 1993, The St. John's Boys' Choir became self-incorporated and established an active Board of Directors. Since that time, they have helped the choir establish sound financial practices and have helped plan long range goals for this organization. Their continued support and active involvement helps take The St. John's Boys' Choir forward to a whole new level.
