Carol E. Hayes Pre-teen Department (ages 3-12): the primary focus is to train children how to follow directorship, and learn music as well as Christian behavior in the church. Pre-teens learn how to direct the choir, sing solos, and present a play featuring their talents. Pre-teens also participate in a Bible study/quiz and fashion show. An outing is scheduled for the pre-teens at various local sightseeing attractions. On the Thursday evening of the convention, the pre-teens will have a musical production showcasing actors, actresses, directors and soloists from within the department.
