Recapitulation with Caitlin Day 4: From Workshops to Worship

Day Four of the National Conference was an absolute blast! Today has been a day full of meeting new people and learning even more information than the day before! Our members have been keeping themselves busy with various workshops (see other blog entries), checking out different booths, and chatting with fellow choral educators. Also, our Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook accounts have trying to keep up with all of the excitement! Check us out on Twitter (@IthacaACDA), Instagram (@ithaca.acda), and Facebook (Ithaca College ACDA) to comment, ask questions, or anything else! We are always open to hear what everyone has to say or if you would like to see anything else on the blog. 

From start to finish, our day was filled with beautiful choral music. I was able to attend a couple different workshops that have expanded my views on music education as well as talk with fellow choral educators about their own programs. We are also very thankful to have been awarded the Best Student Chapter award alongside the Michigan State chapter. Congratulations to Michigan State! 

At the end of the day, our chapter attended the concert for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Temple Square Orchestra. From start to finish, I was extremely moved by the level of musicianship. The program touched my heart. The orchestra, choir, and handbell choir were absolutely stunning. Some of the choir members even tweeted at us! 

That's a wrap on the Recap today, but I am so excited to see what the last day of the conference has in store for our chapter!
