Meet your directors and staff
Principal Choir & Orchestra Director: Jaron Packer has a BMA degree in Choral Conducting from Weber State University and a Masters in Religious Education from BYU. He has directed multiple choirs over the past 15 years including children, youth, young adult and adult choirs. He directed the evening Institute Choir at Weber State for two years. Most recently he was the director of North Front Sound, a barbershop chorus in Davis County. He has taught private lessons for over 20 years. He taught Seminary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for nine years. His most cherished choral experience was directing President Nelson's 364 voice Seminary Choir for the 2018 Worldwide Devotional. He learned the power that young voices with faithful hearts can have on the world. Ever since that event, it has been his dream to start this choir. The time is now!
