SJCDA SJCDA (Region 3) hosted a virtual choir experience for
more than 450 students in grades 4-12 in February. Students attended three one hour zoom sectionals run by various par- ticipating choral teachers throughout the South Jersey region. Each of the choirs (Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High) worked on their own piece. In addition to the typical combined number the Junior and Senior High choirs offer every year, a full combined number for all three choirs was also prepared. The rehearsals were lively and well attended. It was quite
a joy to see so many of my colleagues offering a few hours on one or more Saturdays to help see our honor choir project come to fruition. The recordings from each of the students were submitted and approved by their teachers and the con- cert performance is being put together by our South Jersey colleague and fellow teacher at Egg Harbor Twp. High School, Richard Tinsely. The concert will consist of five choral performances and
will be live streamed early in May. More information on the date, time, and location will be available on our website www.
sjcda.net soon.
We are also in the process of auditioning promising Se-
niors interested in pursuing music and/or music education in college for one of our annual scholarships. The scholarships are $3000 each and we will be announcing the winners during the live stream concert in May.
