Loara High School
Tosha Brinkman-Bliss: I was a student at Loara High School. I now live in south eastern Ohio and have 3 children of my own. My youngest is a sophomore this year and has been in choir a couple of years now. Today we were talking about our experiences in choir and the quality of the programs, music and directors. I so wish that she could have had the benefit of my experience with Bryan Bevers, he was amazing. I was blessed to have had him in my life in the role he played. And while I have not persued any type of career that involves music, he made it fun, inspired us to all want to be the best and proud to be there. Sadly my daughter's choir will never have even a glimpse of how that feels. He made me want to sing forever.
