Alabama Vocal Association
AVA Report Paul Edmondson, President, AVA
As the dust is starting to settle on the opening of school, I hope your year is going well. It was great seeing all of you at Fall Workshop! What a wonderful venue and gracious host. We truly appreciate and thank Mountain Brook Baptist Church and Minister of Music Ken Berg for host- ing the workshop. I want to thank so many of you for your contributions to the success of the event - especially our performing groups: Shades Valley HS (Heather Cantwell), Hewitt-Trussville HS (Nick Cummins), Oxford HS (Susan McCall), Tallassee HS (Jerry Cunningham), Oak Mountain MS (Jerry Toole) and Bumpus MS (Sal Rodas). And to our clinicians goes a special hats-off:
Dr. Steven Curtis
(University of Oklahoma), Dr. Julian Ackerley (Tucson Boys Chorus) and to our own AVA Webmaster Cathy Shelton. I want to also thank our AVA Board for the sup- port and hard work in putting together this event.
I encourage all of our membership to utilize the resources from
alavocal.org as Cathy has contributed an insur- mountable amount of work to produce this excellent web- site. Kudos also goes to our AVA Secretary, Heather Cantwell who, through her diligence and many hours of tedious work, put together our handbook.
The next gathering of our membership will be the AMEA Winter In-Service Conference at the University of Alabama. I encourage each of you to register early and make plans to attend. Remember too, to register your stu- dents for FAME. Good luck in your preparations for All- State Auditions and if I, or any other AVABoard member, can be of assistance, please contact us.
