This month, Steve gives a brief recap of the Idaho-ACDA Fall Conference. Then, he interviews Erin Plisco about the annual SA Composition Consortium. In “Check in Out in the Choral Journal,” Steve highlights the Advocacy and Collaborations articles and statement. He then interviews Dr. Edie Copley who is planning the National Conference in Dallas in March. We then turn to Children and Youth with our R&R Quick Pick and an interview with Joy Hirokawa, R&R Chair for Children and Community Youth.
