Overcoming Roadbumps: A Director's Roundtable

Featuring Phil Kim, Jackie Paul, Jessica Garcia, Kay Genton and you! Moderated by Harrison Acosta

This session will serve as a guided round table discussion, on how to overcome some of the most common stumbling blocks that face vocal groups in both high school and collegiate settings. Bring your own roadblock (BYOR) or share your experiences as we discuss tools and strategies used by members and directors alike.

Anything is open for discussion: the rehearsal environment, group culture, the audition process, set creation, attendance, settling disputes, etc.
