For those of you in school and church choirs, another year is coming to a close. You might well be thinking to yourself "Hey, I'm going to be missing everyone during summer break…maybe I should go find something to do to continue to be part of the choral community!". We have a fine opportunity for you: become a ChoralNet Resources curator. The Resources sections are a well-loved and well-used part of ChoralNet, but they're getting a bit shopworn. There's a lot there that could be updated, and a lot of new things that probably aren't there but should be–and if you're current in a particular area, we'd love you to share your expertise. (Since a lot of the work on the Resources sections happened prior to ChoralNet becoming part of the ACDA, there are also a lot of ACDA resources that ought to be linked up). If you're a recent grad, curating a ChoralNet Resources section is a great thing to put on your resume…as well as giving you a great opportunity to discover lots of interesting and useful material.
You'll likely be responsible (along with a few other people) for a single Resource category. You'll get to go through everything that's currently there, find dead links, update new links, and find interesting and helpful discussions on ChoralNet and in ACDA resources to link people to. Once that's all done, you'll be responsible for vetting submissions and generally keeping your section informative and vital. There's a bunch of work to do at the start, and then after that, there's a small amount of maintenance work you'll need to do about quarterly to keep everything in good shape.
