Josh Gohlke graduated in 2006 after spending five years as a singer/dancer and serving as company manager for the Wisconsin Singers. Today he finds himself working as an editor for the Carson Daily Show, which he credits to his time with Singers.  

At first Josh intended to major in psychology, but he soon realized that his true passion was in film. He quickly changed his major to communications.  

"Quite honestly Singers has a lot to do with where I am today. The whole time in Singers I always had a camera by my side. I was always filming and documenting for my own reasons," Gohlke said. "I still credit Siri Pinter to this day. She was a singer / dancer that year too. She wanted to know if I wanted to be involved in the end of the year video."

Wisconsin Singers is embarking on our 44^th season with our newest show "Star Struck." While many traditions hold strong throughout the years, Wisconsin Singers is constantly working on improving our process each season.  

One of our first initiatives this year is the continued integration of the business team and performers. It was important for Producer/ Director Robin Whitty-Novotny and Director of Business Operations Chris Novotny to join their teams together.

Some of the most memorable experiences as a Wisconsin Singer happen while mounting the show in our annual two week production camp. Production camp starts on Aug. 16^th and runs until the team's first dress rehearsal on Sept. 3^rd. This period is the Singer's musical boot camp, where the troupe works for 14+ hours each day to learn and rehearse the entire show for the year in this short time span.  

"The singers/dancers dance and sing and audition for solos. The band works on their music and the band features. And the techs work on making props, developing the sound and lighting plots for the show and running errands," vocal captain Ryan Moldenhauer describes.
