In Memoriam

An Outstanding Musician

A Dear Friend to Louisiana Musicians

Joseph Bernard Winters

1955-2010  

Dr. Louise LaBruyere,
LAACDA President

I hope you all had a rewarding school year and wish you a relaxing and rejuvenating summer.  I just returned from an ACDA leadership conference in Chicago.  The focus of the workshop was twofold:  to help those in regional and state leadership roles to do their jobs effectively, and to work in conjunction with the national office to determine how to best serve the membership.  ACDA is working hard to be an organization that will provide meaningful and useful tools to conductors and educators of all interests and levels.
 
Much of what ACDA provides is in the form of conferences and conventions.  The LA ACDA board has met and is working hard to make the upcoming Fall Vocal Conference another educational and inspirational event.  This year’s conference will be dedicated to our beloved friend and colleague, Joey Winters.  The conductor’s choir (conducted this year by Dr. Larry Wyatt) will perform one of Joey’s compositions.
 
The website should now be up-to-date with honor choir and conference information.   I apologize for this not happening sooner.  We’ve been trying to unify and streamline all of the honor choir forms and information.  We’re almost there, but there are still a few glitches.  I’ve made the decision to use the old forms one more year until we work out the kinks, but should have made that decision much sooner.
 
Hope you have a great summer (what’s left of it)!
 
                                  Louise LaBruyere
