WCDA Award Winners

RECIPIENTS OF THE 2007 WCDA 5-STAR AWARD:

The annual 5-Star Awards were presented at the WCDA 2007 Convention in Appleton in January. Congratulations to the newest members of this very special group of conductors who were recognized not only for their outstanding level of professional involvement in the Wisconsin Choral Directors Association but also for the participation of their students in activities sponsored by WCDA.

The 2007 inductees are:

CAROL DAHLE, Hudson Middle School
PAM ZORBINI, Germantown High School
SHAWN GUDMUNSEN, St. Croix Falls High School
JUDY BENNETT, Monroe High School

The WCDA 5-Star Award is an annual award, with members re-applying each year. Recipients receive a WCDA 5-Star certificate and are recognized at the WCDA convention. An optional plaque is available. Notification of the award is sent to the directors’ area newspapers and administrators or supervisors. If you attended the convention this year and had at least one singer participate in a WCDA sponsored event (i.e. Singing In Wisconsin, NextDirection, Convention Honor Choir, etc.) you are on your way to qualifying for next year’s 5-Star Award! Look over the 5-Star award requirements and be sure to fill out an application form and send it in. Don’t let your good work go unnoticed! Congratulations in advance!

—Kevin Meidl, Visions Committee Chair
