In July LMH junior Connor Ream attended the American Theatre Organ Society Youth Camp and Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. Connor was one of 13 students chosen from the United States. Each applicant was thoroughly reviewed before the final selection was made.

While at the conference, Connor learned from the best in the business. This included one-on-one training with Lyn Larsen, Jelani Eddington, Donna Parker, Jonas Nordwall, Charlie Balough, and Lew Williams. Connor played several organs, including the largest in Arizona (over 798 working functions) worth over $2 million.
"It was quite a thrill," says Connor.
He was sponsored by a local chapter, the Susquehanna Valley Theatre Organ Society (SVTOS).
