2020 WOMAN OF NOTE
​Toast of Champaign
Glenda Carpenter

Toast of Champaign would like to congratulate Glenda Carpenter who has been chosen this year's Woman of Note for our chorus. She was the show chair last fall and motivated all of us to make the show a wonderful success as we "vacationed" around the globe! She helps the baritone section and lifts each rehearsal just with her presence. Thank you, Glenda, for all you do for Toast of Champaign.

2019 Woman of Note
Toast of Champaign
​Jackie Compton

​Toast of Champaign has chosen our director, Jackie Compton, as this year’s Woman of Note. An accolade long overdue, she has directed our chorus for nearly 40 years, and still brings to us unending enthusiasm and a wonderful sense of humor as she elevates us to a level  of which she knows we are capable. A former music educator herself, she continues to grow and learn each year through her attendance at music schools and active participation on the RMT. She knows how to impart that knowledge in a way every chorus member cannot only understand, but also embrace along with her. Her contributions to our chorus go far beyond being our director; she is our friend!
