Seven months after retiring, music professor Carol Ann Steele\u2019s<\/a> <\/span>legacy has been revived at North Campus.<\/p>\n

This fall, the Singing Sharks took over for the North Star Singers, a choir Steele led for 18 years during her nearly three-decade-long career at Miami Dade College.<\/p>\n

The new choir made its debut on Oct. 26 during an hour-long concert\u2014Autumn Leaves\u2014held in the 5000 building. They sported new regalia made by North Campus humanities professor Robert Remek, who oversees the group, and his wife, Mary Jo.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy concept with the Singing Sharks is for it to be a group that allows students to perform a variety of styles,\u201d Remek said.<\/p>\n

Debut: A pamphlet is displayed to encourage students to join the new Singing Sharks choir, which debuted this Fall. The ensemble hopes to host off-site concerts and collaborate with choirs at Wolfson and Kendall Campus. BRIANNA ACEVEDO \/ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 61-year-old, who has taught at the College since 1994, started dabbling in music when he was five. His first instrument was the piano, which he played at his grandmother\u2019s farm in rural Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

By age 11, he was playing the organ at his local church\u2014St. Philip Parish\u2014in Crossingville, P.A. When he was 15, he became a singing coach in his sophomore year at Northwestern High School in Albion, P.A.<\/p>\n

After receiving a music scholarship to the University of Miami in 1978, Remek attained a bachelor\u2019s degree in classical piano and a master\u2019s degree in choral conducting. He has also earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in computer science from Florida International University.<\/p>\n

Remek has conducted choirs for the past 38 years at Catholic, Protestant and Presbyterian churches throughout Miami.<\/p>\n

In 1987, he was one of two organists who performed during Pope John Paul II\u2019s visit to South Florida.<\/p>\n

Remek\u2019s experience has helped him connect with his students at North Campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe gets the job done,\u201d said Ashley Escalante, who performs with the Singing Sharks. \u201cEvery once in a while when I lose count, I look up and he clearly conducts what beat we\u2019re in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Escalante learned about the choir after receiving an email from Remek last August.<\/p>\n

During the Autumn Leaves concert, she sang the song Best Part during the Singing Sharks Spotlight Performances.<\/p>\n

To improve the group’s production, the Singing Sharks bought new studio audio monitors, two loudspeakers and eight choir microphones this fall to use during practice sessions. The equipment allows them to mimic concert-like conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something that\u2019s going to last us a long time,\u201d said Andres Quiroga, the Arts & Philosophy Chairperson at North Campus. \u201cAnd it’s not just for the choir, but any musical ensemble now has the opportunity to use the equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the past, North Campus choirs borrowed equipment from media services to conduct live performances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have our equipment that we can use at any given time,\u201d said Brasen White, who plays the drums and keyboard for the Singing Sharks. \u201cWe don’t have to bother anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he was two, White started his musical career playing percussion at his grandfather\u2019s church\u2014New Mount Calvary Missionary Baptist Church. He currently plays percussion at local churches throughout Miami\u2014including the Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, where he plays weekly with local Christian musician Levi Knowles.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old joined the North Star Singers last semester to sharpen his artistic skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic is a wonderful way of life,\u201d White said. \u201cIf anybody wants to join [the Singing Sharks], follow your dream. [Don\u2019t let anybody] tell you what you can and cannot do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Singing Sharks, who have already performed at this year\u2019s 9\/11 ceremony, will present their first-holiday concert on Dec. 13 at 1 p.m. inside the North Campus Black Box Theatre in Room 5116.<\/p>\n

In the coming months, the choir hopes to host more off-site performances and collaborate with the music department and choir ensembles at Kendall and Wolfson Campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just very excited to see where the future takes us,\u201d Escalante said. \u201cThis group has the potential to go places.\u201d<\/p>\n
