Congratulations on both changes.

Sally Whitledge of Scenic City Chorus in Chattanooga, TN, recently announced her retirement from directing. We will certainly miss her smiling face, her arm waving, and her expertise at our chats and at competition. Good luck with your next endeavor Sally. Scenic City Chorus was not without a director for long. Jen Cooke has started as their new director. Congratulations to Jen and Scenic City.

DCP PROGRAM

Enrica Ramey is continuing as our DCP coordinator. Thank you so much Enrica. There is one new applicant this year, and there are 29 other active candidates. Many are now taking advantage of the new opportunity to take tests given by their directors (those that are certified). This really helps in getting through the program. Please encourage your chorus members to take advantage of the DCP program. There is a wealth of information useful to everyone, not just directors.
