Presidents Message
Bill Young, NC ACDA President
Dear Colleagues, Friends, and C ACDA Members,
There are a number of changes coming to this wonderful
organization this year. As I complete my tenure as President and
move to Past-President, I look on the future of NC ACDA and
the range of changes with much optimism and anticipation.
Some of these changes include a change of location of the state
conference following the September 2013 conference at UNCG;
an opening for the coordinator of the Male Vocal Arts Sympo-
sium (MVAS); and R& S Chair openings in a number of areas.
The newest slate of officers: Sandy Holland, President; Anne Saxon, President-Elect;
Catherine Butler, Treasurer; and Bethany Jennings, Secretary, are all experienced in
running events as officers in other professional organizations and are seasoned NC
ACDA members and colleagues. In anticipation of the conference site change, an
ad-hoc committee, guided by Sandy, has been working tirelessly to scout out the site
most beneficial to our NC ACDA constituents. I anticipate an announcement at the next
state conference. The MVAS Coordinator opening just occurred and requires some
thought by the board. And, the normal rotation off the board of R&S Chairs will keep
the Executive Committee and the entire board busy.
For years NC ACDA has experienced consistency in the high quality of clinicians,
choral performances, and interest sessions at the state conference. The organization
grew to include an event for male singers that runs concurrently with the state confer-
ence and fosters participation of men in choir. MVAS encourages male choral singers
from Middle School to Veteran Adult community choir singers to sing together under
the baton of nationally recognized clinicians.
In addition, NC ACDA has been the grateful recipient of three Southern Division grants
in the last three years that were dedicated to a specific R&S area. This grant allowed the
select R&S Chair to build a second concurrent event with the state conference that
brought clinicians to North Carolina to address specific interests within those areas. The
Sr. High Womens All-State Chorus, which runs in conjunction with the 9-10 SATB
and 11-12 SATB All-State Choruses, has consistently been one of the most successful
events sponsored by NC ACDA. Innovation and vision by the NC ACDA board have
insured the growth of the organization, informative, high quality conferences and
performances, and has provided guidance to the hundreds of our state constituents.
The optimism I feel in light of these changes comes from what I observe from our active
and talented constituency, and especially by the inspiration of the new and changing
board of directors and appointees. The freshness of ideas, the desire to improve our
quality, and the understanding of the needs of the membership are paramount to their
thinking and actions. Here is an opportunity for YOU to contribute to this organization
that gives to so many within the choral community in orth Carolina. The following
R& S Chair positions are open: Jazz Choirs, University and College Choirs, Boy
Choirs, Two-Year College Choirs, and Mens Choirs. Please answer the call when
asked to participate and lead. NC ACDA is a wonderful organization that thrives
because of the excellent direction by the board and the insightful contributions of its
membership.
So, I say again, I look forward with optimism and joy to the future of NC ACDA, and
encourage the brilliant colleagues and friends that work diligently to provide the North
Carolina choral community the best choral experiences possible. Join Them!
Best, Bill

Yo u n g M u s i c E d u c a t o r s S h o u l d K n o w
Scott Buchanan, Indiana ACDA Vice-President
As a mentor and teacher of teachers, I find it crucial to share the non-musical aspects of
our profession with young colleagues. It is important they understand that very few music
are not too many who get burnt out and quit because of the music. In my opinion, what
happens with these folks, more often than not, is due the struggles they have with the
various layers of professional relationships (students, parents, colleagues, administrators),
or time management, or with an inability to get adequately organized to teach effectively
in a public school setting.
Now, I certainly dont claim to know everything. This list is pared down from an original
list of about 30 items. Some I combinedsome I omittedand some I forgot! But, all of
us have a list of many things we wish we had learned in collegebut never did. So, for
the young music educators out therehere is mine:
#10 Stay Out of the Teachers Lounge!
Coming out of college you are young, energetic, and positive. You want the best from
your students. They will work hard for you because many, if not most, of them want to
be there. Why, your choir room could, quite possibly, be the happiest place in the school!
But, there is also the teachers lounge. The place where faculty and staff alike get to
together during planning periods and lunch to do nothing but criticize students, their
salaries, the facilities, the textbooks, and each other. It is the place to go if you want to
have all your positive energy sucked right out of you. To the best of your abilities, try and
avoid this den of dreariness!
#9 You Are ot Superman
When you accept a teaching job, here is what you sign on for (more or less, depending on
the job!): running a program, fundraising, doing a musical, solo & ensemble festivals, tak-
ing a trip, ordering music, paying for music, before school rehearsals, after school rehears-
als, singing for the School Board, lunch duty, monitoring hallways, and singing 78 times
between December 10th and 20th for a variety of community organizations (faster than a
speeding bulletable to leap tall buildings in a single bound). Get it? We simply cant
do everything! Learn to delegate. Utilize the outstanding students in your program to help
you with many of the routine duties that came sometimes make our lives a daily grind.
Also, find helpful parents that are willing to volunteer for various tasks. Many are will-
ingand maybe even have the timethey just simply need to be asked.
#8 Join Your Professional Organizations
This may seem silly, because if you are reading this you have probably already done it.
The real importance, however, is to understand the network of thousands of amazingly
talented professionals from whom we can learn. Members of ACDA, MENC, as well as
those in the various state musical organizations, are such wonderful resources. Take ad-
vantage!
#7 Be Their Teacher, ot Their Friend
A huge issue for young teachers is trying to find a balance between being liked and being
respected. What we must realize, however, is that they need not be mutually exclusive.
Then there is the issue of gaining trusthow does that happen? Respect and trust, two
things that are earnednot given. As music teachers, we sometimes get to teach our stu-
dents for four yearswhile others maybe get them for a semester. Some very profound
relationships can develop over a few years, and the only way to earn respect and trust...is

#4 Understand and Respect the Power of Athletics ejohnson@rock.k12.nc.us
I am not really sure what to discuss hereother than to say that, in many places, the di- 336.623.9791 x108
chotomy between sports and the arts is real, and it is not going to go away anytime soon.
But I can offer this: 1) have open communication with the coaching staff at the school and Senior High School Choirs

games; and 5) put out the very best product you can so that student want to be a part of 336.771.4500
your organization. CEarnhardt@wsfcs.k12.nc.us
#3 Learn to Play Golf Show Choirs
OKit doesnt have to be golf, but that is what I chose. Find some sort of hobby or activ- Mary D. Summerlin

ness and respect. They can make or break your programreally! bvaughn@rock.k12.nc.us
#1 Pick the Right Piece Youth & Student Activities
Obviously, something had mentioned about the actual music. The most important skill for Jeffrey Ward
any music educator - new, experienced, young, old, choral, or instrumental is the ability East Carolina University
to select appropriate repertoire for their students. You can have the finest singers in the A.J. Fletcher Music Center

be given its full consideration. For what you choose is crucial to student successand

NC ACDA Sr. High All-State Womens Choir Update

Jeremy Truhel, NC ACDA Sr. High All-State Womens Choir Chair

This past January the weather report the week of our scheduled Sr. High All-State
Womens Choir event was predicting icy weather, and after exchanging 12th-hour
phone calls Beverly Alt, Carol Earnhardt and myself, we made the pain-staking decision
to cancel. It was ultimately the right decision as the roads were covered in ice and would
have been perilous for our participants.
Even though this event is not guaranteed to be rescheduled due to bad weather, we were
in luck: the Greensboro Coliseum, which is booked each entire year, happened to have one weekend open in
early May. Our conductor, Dr. Wendy Looker, was also available, and the event was able to take place. Many
thanks to the dedicated music professionals who helped to make this years event a success!
The 2014 All-State Womens Choir will be conducted by Sigrid Johnson from St. Olaf College, February 21-
22. Ms. Johnson is well-known for her work with womens choirs throughout the United States and I know
she will bring a wonderful program to North Carolina next January. Online registration will be available in
August; be on the watch for an email from Beverly Alt or myself. Should you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to email me at jeremytruhel@fcds.org.

Sigrid Johnson has been a member of the voice and choral faculty at St. Olaf College in
Northfield, MN, since 1983. During her 24-year tenure as conductor of Manitou Singers,
the 100-voice chorus for first-year women at St. Olaf, Johnson has inspired more than 2,000
young women. Johnson is known for her skill at blending voices, perfecting tone and assist-
ing with vocal production -- both psychologically and physiologically. of special events for
Philip Brunelle's VocalEssence and is active as a clinician specializing in women's choral
literature.

Editors Note
Anne Saxon, Newsletter Editor
What an incredible year!
To have received a second
newsletter award this spring
AND to be voted as your
incoming NC ACDA
President-Elect is beyond
thrilling!
I truly appreciate your faith in my abilities
and look forward to my new duties to
begin in June. The plan is for me to
continue as Newsletter Editor during this
transition time, while passing the torch
and train someone new after the Fall
Conference Issue later this summer.
If you, or anyone you know, is interested
in serving on the board as editor please do
not hesitate to contact myself or President
Sandy Holland as soon as possible!
