087. Is Your Choir Program Due for a Spring Cleaning?
Listen now
Description
Every year when warmer weather starts to roll in, there's one thing you can always count on at our house--multiple days of Spring Cleaning!  The dusting, the switching out all of the clothes in the closets, cleaning windows, getting out the patio furniture--you know what I'm talking about, right? As I was switching out the clothes in my closet recently, I thought about what a "Spring Cleaning" for a choir program would look like.  And no, I'm not talking about the piles of music that need to be filed (although, you should really do something about that) or the dustbunnies that have accumulated underneath your piano.  I'm talking about taking a few moments to reflect on the year, and really giving some thought to what's working in your choir program, what needs to be tweaked, what you might want to add to your program, and what needs to be shipped out, like that old pile of clothes you're shipping off to the local thrift store. In Episode 87 of the podcast, I'm sharing with you seven items on my Choir Program Spring Cleaning To-Do List.  I hope that my list might get your juices flowing, and help you brainstorm how you might give your own choir program a thorough Spring Cleaning!
