Some days we seem to be surrounded by rampant narcissism and seemingly endless self-promotion by wanna–be mini-celebrities. So when something like this comes along, the only word that comes to mind is “refreshing.”
The recent ACDA national conference in Salt Lake featured a service project where choral students from Waukee High School (Iowa) led a choir exchange with their peers at Granite Park Junior High School in Salt Lake City. The accompanying video fragment shows just a small taste of that valuable experience.
This is exactly the sort of altruism our founders had in mind when they penned the first six words of ACDA’s Purposes: “To foster and promote choral singing . . .”
Thankfully, most of us educators already know that this life isn’t about cash. It’s about helping others.
Bravo, one and all!
