Association’s National Honors Choir’s biennial conference. The two Sycamore High School students were selected to participate in the conference. The choirs are highly selective, led by notable directors, and used to premiere works by leading composers in choral music, according to a news release. Chamoun and Jennings spent three days in Cincinnati, Ohio, and rehearsed with renowned choral conductors in preparation for a concert, which was held in Februrary at the historical Springer Auditorium. The ACDA is a nonprofit music education organization whose goals outline the association’s dedication to the advancement of choral music, advocates for music in schools, and provide honors and enrichment opportunities for students. The Sycamore Music Boosters supports students in kindergarten through 12 music programs offered within Sycamore School School District 427.
