TJ Steib – Chorus Manager
TJ joined the chorus as a singer after moving to Tucson from Honolulu. During his first season, he stepped up to position of chorus manager as a way of continuing to support the chorus. He sang with the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles (GMCLA) and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Hawaii (GMCofH) in the past and knows firsthand that music can indeed change lives. TJ most recently played a part on the Honolulu International Film Festival’s programming team and, once upon a time, worked developing toys for The Disney Store. TJ wasted no time in joining the folks with the Tucson International Film Festival and has been very active in the annual event.
Recently TJ took the opportunity to return to Honolulu. Due to his growing experience with video conferencing and remote management of the chorus, Reveille has embraced his staying with the Chorus in an administrative capacity from his remote oasis. He always looks forward to helping the Artistic Team get their concepts out to the world.
