Director education succeeds at Nashville convention
Director Education takes Nashville by storm.

Nashville Convention Director Education
Not only was the Nashville International Convention a rousing success from the standpoint of a great convention city, smoothly run contests, fierce competition, great tag singing, and all of the other things we look for in a convention, but it also proved to be a great place to conduct some of our Director Education courses. Here is a brief summary of each of the workshops.
Outstanding in Front
Paul Tamblyn led a much abbreviated version of this program and used the volunteers from the Alexandria Harmonizers music team as the guinea pigs. There were approximately 43 people in attendance and it was very well received. Paul did a fantastic job of illustrating the highlights of the program and I am certain each member of the music team along with the attendees learned something new this day.
CDWI
Paul Tamblyn and Royce Ferguson were the trainers and Joe Cerutti (Alexandria Harmonizers), David Krause (Kansas City Heart of America), and Steve Tramack (Nashua Granite Statesmen) were the trainees. The three all made enormous strides and some even had epiphany moments! There was a chorus of approximately 75 people (I am assuming most of the singers were members of each trainee’s respective chorus) that helped in the second half of the session. This four hour version went very well!
Directors Seminar
Jim Clancy (The Vocal Majority), Joe Liles (West Allis), and Joe Cerutti (Alexandria Harmonizers) provided the perfect mix of experience, passion, and talent for the estimated 60 people in attendance. The 50 minutes went by much too fast and I have personally heard comments that this was the BEST Director Seminar sessions we have had to date…it was undoubtedly the largest attendance.
The Outstanding in Front and CDWI workshops were video taped and will be used to make a short, two minute promotional video clip that we will include on our website in the Director’s section.
As you can clearly see from the participants, these programs can fit nicely into ANY type of chapter. Now is the time to start planning a workshop of some sort in your area. For more information, contact the below respective Vice Chairman of each area.
