Alabama ACDA Summer Conference

The Alabama Choral Directors Association Summer Conference will be on The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday, July 14-16, 2024. Please mark your calendars to reflect these dates. The conference will include much of what we return for year after year: guest clinicians, interest sessions by Alabama choral directors, reading sessions that encompass all ACDA Repertoire & Resources (R&R) areas, food, fellowship, and fun.
​
All attendees are invited to a Monday evening pre-concert social from 5:15-7:15pm. The annual after-concert Karaoke Fest will follow the concert. Come share your talent, or just come and (tastefully) criticize everyone else's!

Should you have any further questions, please reach out to our Alabama ACDA President-Elect, Stacy Daniels at [email protected]
