Greetings to all! I am currently writing this article after having spent 12 days traveling with the Hoover High School choir in France and, unexpectedly, Holland. If you are curious about the unexpected part, I hope I will have the opportunity to share the whole story with you at an event this year. Wherever life’s path led you this Summer, I am grateful it brought you back to a new school year!
I hope everyone is enjoying a much-needed rest before the thrill of the school year begins. The Alabama Orchestra Association has an exciting year ahead, so please make sure you keep up with member emails, social media, and our website!
