Every other year there is a nationally held convention dedicated to the research, and education of choral music and conducting. Anyone can attend ranging from storied composers and professors, to students like me and my girlfriend Tanel! The music education student body of ETSU likes to go every year, but due to some funding issues it’s especially hard this year. Travel, lodging, and registration fees are more than what we anticipated. So if you could help me and Tanel go to this wonderful event, it would be so appreciated. This convention really shows students what life is like amongst the great minds of seasoned choral vets, and for some (including me) it’s the highlight of their education. So if you could spare anything for us, we would greatly appreciate it!
