South Jersey Choral Directors Association www.sjcda.net

The South Jersey Choral Directors Association had their annual concerts on January 28th and 29th at Washington Township High School. The board of directors, choir directors, and the W-Twp HS teachers and staff did a splendid job this year. Both choirs gave excellent performances and we were so proud of our student's and directors for doing such a remarkable job for our region and community.

Joe Zachowski from Washington Twp HS led the senior high chorus and Charles Hartung from Collingswood MS led the junior high chorus, and the two groups ended with a combined performance of “I Will Sing” by Michael Engelhardt. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of this year’s festival, from audition day to performance day; managers, hosts, directors as well as the board of directors and especially our festival coordinator, Amy Melson. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure that we could make this an enjoyable concert for all to enjoy.

We would like to additionally thank our amazing hosts for all of our events. Thanks to Romel McInnis & Chelsea Franchi from the Clearview School District, Brendan Moore from Lenape High School, Dr. Chris Thomas, Joe Higgins & Jennie Quinn from Rowan University, and Amy Melson, Casey Corigliano, Jim Weiner and Kevin Lindstedt from Washington Twp. High School.
