Were you that high school student who loved choir, who was able to draw others around you during break, but who didn’t know that choir could possibly be a career for you? The NextDirection event is for those very students, and is aimed at opening up the world of choral education for them. Built on a program developed and honed by the Wisconsin Choral Directors Association, 2018 was the first year the program was offered to students across the country.
Some states are offering one or more scholarships for which high school students can apply. Scroll to the bottom of this page for information.
