ACDA is Like a Drive-in Theatre

July 27, 2012 by Scott Dorsey Leave a Comment


Drive-in theatres are making a comeback!  Yes, that iconic symbol of the 50s & 60s is experiencing a Renaissance.
 
“People love the communal experience,” said Kipp Sherer of drive-ins.com.  The recent USA Today article continues, saying “There is definitely a resurgence of drive-ins, maybe because people are tired of the sterile environment in multiplexes.”
 
Choral music is like that, it’s communal.  It’s human.  And despite some clever video projects, it will probably never be synthesized.
 
Active involvement in ACDA, too, is a communal experience.  Sure, you can lurk here, reading about choral music, watching a video or two, maybe even commenting about a blog you read; but you’re doing it alone.  The American Choral Directors Association is delighted to offer a variety of opportunities online for engagement and communication, but nothing beats the face-to-face benefit of sharing the choral experience with peers, other choral-crazed souls, “who get it.”
 
So, what are you waiting for?  Join ACDA. Add your voice, your strength, your passion for the choral art to a body devoted to “inspiring excellence in choral music through education, performance, composition, and advocacy.”
 
Now, park the car and pass the popcorn!

    Hear, hear!
    (I chose that affirmation in honor–or “honour”–of our friends across the water–looking forward to the Opening Ceremonies tonight–I hope it includes some good choral music!)
