ACDA-PA Announces the 2023 "In the Middle" Middle School Summer Honor Choir

ACDA-PA members are encouraged to invite their middle school singers (completed grades 6-8) to join in song this summer at the Summer Conference!  Guest conductor Dr. Anthony Trecek-King will lead the “In the Middle" honor choir associated with the ACDA-PA summer conference.

The rehearsals and performance will take place at Messiah University on Monday, July 31, 2023 which will culminate in a performance at the conference in a concert shared with the "Choir for All" Honor Choir.  Middle school directors are encouraged to recommend motivated students who will be able to focus during a full day of rehearsal, will prepare the music in advance of the festival, have strong pitch matching skills, and can maintain part independence. 
​

Costs

​Registration price is $60 per singer, which includes music, rehearsal tracks, lunch/snacks, and rehearsals with the conductor and accompanist. Directors who also attend the summer conference will receive a discounted conference registration rate.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: JUNE 15, 2023
 

​

Registration

Parents/guardians should complete an INDIVIDUAL SINGER REGISTRATION for each participating student.  A copy of form responses will be sent to the parent email address used to complete the form.  Please forward the confirmation email to your child's director so that they have a record of the registration.
