Ep. #5 - December 2024 (ft. Vic Oakes)

Steve wraps up the year with a festive sendoff in the December ACDA Podcast! This month, he introduces a new segment, “It All Happens in Dallas,” previewing the exciting events at the upcoming National Conference. In “Check it Out in the Choral Journal,” he highlights the January issue, a must-read for conference details. The episode features an engaging interview with Vincent (Vic) Oakes, candidate for ACDA President-Elect (go back to the November episode to hear the interview with the other candidate). They discuss his career, leadership experience, and vision for ACDA’s future. The R&R Quick Pick shines a light on Music of Life by B.E. Boykin, a stunning piece for treble voices. Steve closes with essential updates in the “Did You Know?” segment, including registration deadlines for the National Conference.
