    A LITTLE ABOUT ME...
    A 1998 graduate of Westminster Choir College, the School of Music of Rider University with his B.M. in Music Education - Voice with a Minor in Piano, Mr. Whitmore has taught high school choral music, led students to the State level in New Jersey's Teen Arts Festival program, directed award-winning musicals, performed professionally on stages throughout the United States from the Bob Carr Center in Orlando, Florida with the Orlando Opera Company to Madison Square Garden with Andrea Bocelli and was head of the education department at the Forum Theatre in Metuchen, NJ.
     
    Since his arrival at LBMS, Mr. Whitmore has created an acclaimed Honors Chorus (SoundWave), helped to create Long Branch's nationally recognized anti-bullying anthem "Bullying We'll Stop It!" and has had students involved in community activities from the Wave of Hope Festival and LBPS 9/11 programs to performances at the Monmouth Care Center and for the Rotary Club during the holidays. Come see the SoundWave Honors Choir performm next Saturday, Dec. 1 for the Annual Long Branch Tree Lighting at 5:30pm!
