For President - David N. Regner

Leadership Experience:

  • Musical Direction: With the Livingston Theatre Company, Oscar Schindler Performing Arts Center, East Hanover Playhouse, and NJPAC, I have musically directed the following: You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown, Godspell, Cinderella, Baby, Sweet Charity, Grease, and Dreamgirls. My responsibilities include teaching the vocals to the cast as well as organizing and conducting the pit orchestra.
  • MENC: I am currently the vice-president of my school’s chapter of MENC working closely with the rest of the E-Board in organizing our chapter.
  • Assistant conductor of Saxophone Ensemble

    Like most others associated with MENC, I have loved music for the vast majority of my life. My grandpa started me out on the violin, and even though I absolutely despised it, it has ultimately brought me to where I am now. Still, as passionate as I am and as much as I love music, I have been in search of as many opportunities to share the same passion and love with others. Thus I am a music education major, hoping to share it with my students in the future. But in the now, the opportunity of being the vice-president/president elect of New Jersey’s MENC is such a wonderful way to further share music. How wonderful it would be if we could organize college ensembles to visit local schools in a concert setting, utilizing the youth of college students to connect better with those still in K-12. An optimistic idea, I know, but one that I think if pulled off would be such a great way to instill an appreciation of music in students early on. I appreciate you considering me for the position, and I do sincerely hope you give me the chance to do what I know I can do. Thank you!
