SOUTH CENTRAL DISTRICT

Welcome to the South Central District webpage! I look forward to helping represent our district and working with all of our choral colleagues! If you have any suggestions/concerns please email me and together we’ll try to make our district even stronger.

I hope all of our directors will take advantage of our South Central Choral opportunities listed below. Have a great 2012-2013 school year!

Musically,
Julie Schnieders
