Director’s Corner

Hello Region 1 and Happy New Year!

As we head into the New Year it is a great time to assess where we have been and look to where we
want to go.

For most of us, the change of the calendar also means preparing for contest. Is this a fun time for you
and your chorus, or is it stressful? Can you think of ways to make the learning exciting and rewarding
rather than hard work? Do you take a little time to be grateful and appreciate how far you have come
instead of only looking at how far you have to go? Perspective can make a big difference in your
attitude, and your attitude makes all the difference in your happiness.

So in the words of that great philosopher Bobby McFerrin, “Don’t worry, be happy.” It is the journey
that can give us the most satisfaction.

Best wishes for happy choruses and beautiful harmonies,

Eileen Gioe
