North Central ACDA CONFERENCE!!!

Well, tomorrow morning our chapter of ACDA (Called "Choral Vision") departs for the North Central Division ACDA Conference in Madison, WI.  I'm not sure the exhibits will compare to those we experienced last year at the National Conference in Chicago, IL, but I'm still very excited!

If you ever had any doubt about whether or not you'd enjoy a conference, take it from me: ignore it and go.  You will learn SO much. 

In addition, something might just surprise you!  For example Dr. Dennis Willhoit (who I used to study voice with and haven't seen since May) is performing as tenor soloist in "To Be Certain of the Dawn"  on Friday-  can you imagine my surprise and excitement!!! 

Here are some highlights from last year's conference:
This is three of us after meeting the creative director of Chanticleer- this photo actually ended up on their blog.  Check it out!!!
Our group with friend and colleague Danielle Kinderman (3rd from left) who won 2nd place in the conducting competition!!!


Myself with Eric Whitacre as he signed my copy of "Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine" which we performed on a tour to Puerto Rico in January!
