Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): This ensemble is being updated to align with other groups in the department. The musical focus of the ensemble has broadened, and the new name helps identify the group more accurately. I am resubmitting the request to shorten the name for the catalogue. The full name of the group is Western Hemisphere voices. Please let me know if I am not updating this correctly. Thanks! |
