CENTRAL DISTRICT

Hello Central District Colleagues!
It is my privilege to serve as your representative for the Iowa Choral Directors Association. Let me emphasize the word "serve." Please know that I am absolutely interested in helping you achieve excellence with your singers and choirs and, if I may speak for your other colleagues, so are they. One of the most enduring things about ICDA is the dedication its members have to each other and to our shared craft. Do not hesitate to let me know how we can make your music-making even more rewarding.
The dates for our district's events are listed below. As details become available, they will be posted on the site. Take advantage of these opportunities, and let's work together to make the central district stronger than it has ever been!
Have a fantastic year, and never settle for mediocrity.
Chris Johnson
