Shane Dahl - Bass
Shane Dahl began singing at a young age with his family, but it wasn't until he was "forced" to take choir in high school that he learned to love singing, especially choral music. Shane sang under Ted Reid, in the Concert Choir, and Troubadours at Fountain Valley High School. During high school he was selected to sing in the elite Orange County Youth Choir, under the direction of Bruce Bales who would later become Shane's first voice teacher. Shane began to compete in ACDA Solo competitions, and competed in many local choral festivals. That's where he came into contact with Dr. William Hall from Chapman University, where as a Senior in High School Shane was invited to join Chapman University's Choir singing in the movie Sister Act 2 with Whoopi Goldberg.
Shane later went on to sing with the Golden West College Chorale & Singers before joining the Chapman University Choir and Singers where he traveled extensively throughout the West Coast, Chicago, Italy, and China including highlights at the National ACDA Choral Convention in Chicago, in Vatican City for Pope John Paul and later with the Beijing Symphony Orchestra in the Forbidden City in China. While at Chapman Shane had the honor to study voice with Louis Lebherz, and Robin Buck.
Upon graduating from Chapman, Shane continued singing with Dr Hall in the William Hall Master Chorale. Later he sang a season with DeAngelis under the direction of Matt Gray, and numerous other choirs including the recent inaugural concert in December of the Orange County Mormon Choral Organization at Segerstrom Hall under the direction of Brett Stewart.
Shane feels extremely blessed to be singing with such great musicians and is thrilled to be reunited with the Meistersingers again for another season.
