Carrie Marcotte has been the director of the West Towns Chorus for ten years. She has led us to the Illinois District Barbershop Chorus Championship three times (2014, 2017, and 2021), the Chorus “Most Improved Chorus” award (2016), the “Most Entertaining Chorus” award (2015), and a wild card invitation to the Barbershop International Chorus contest in Orlando (2018). She brings lots of talent, energy, and fun to our rehearsals.

Carrie serves as the full-time collaborative pianist for the eight curricular choirs at Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora, is the Music Director at Woodridge United Methodist Church, and co-organist for the Chicago Blackhawks! In her “free” time she sings with the two-time Illinois District Mixed Quartet Champion quartet: Mixology.
Carrie is the proud parent of Jacob (19) and Lucas (16).
Carrie Marcotte is honored to be a member of the West Towns Chorus family and looks forward to many more great things to come.
