To Whom It May Concern:
Greetings from Parkersburg South High School! I hope that everyone has had a wonderful summer vacation and is excited for another year of choral music in the state of West Virginia. It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve as the West Virginia ACDA High School Repertoire and Standards Chairperson and have the opportunity to work with you with the high school All-State Chamber Chorus.
This year’s clinician for the All-State Chamber Choir is Mr. Jeffrey Redding, a doctoral candidate from Florida State University. Jeff is a wonderful conductor and brings lots of enthusiasm and new concepts to the rehearsal. He is very excited to be working with all of the students from across the state of West Virginia, which I think will be a wonderful experience for all to enjoy.
Attached, you will find the registration form for the All-State Chamber Chorus. Please complete the form as neatly as possible and return to me with one school check payable to: WVACDA. Please note that the cost to audition is $15.00 per student.
