Summer Convention

This past week/weekend, I attended a choral convention in San Antonio, TX.  Texas Choral Directors Association annual convention is usually held at the end of July or beginning of August every year.  This convention featured 35+ workshops and 13+ new music reading sessions.  Featured composers Craig Hella Johnson, Dan Davison, and Laura Farnell.  Other featured clinicians and workshop leaders were Donald Neuen, Sandra Snow, and Jonathan Reed.  There was also a huge exhibit hall featuring music vendors, fundraising ideas, t-shirt makers, and other musical items.

This year I received 266 free pieces of choral music from the reading workshops!!  Music ranges from Unison/2-Part music to advanced HS and college level, incorporating secular and sacred music.  Not bad for a person starting to build their choral library!!
