Yorba Linda High School Choral Teacher

I was evesdropping on a conversation today at the grocery store and this is what I heard….

The new high school choral director will actually be filled by the band director

Well, I think that’s just retarded. Band directors are great at what they do but that is NOT directing a choir. I was raised with a lot of music. I was in choir and I was a band geek (first chair trumpet as a freshman), but I think the choral director position should be filled by a choral teacher, not a band teacher.

Having the choir be directed by the band director will not make for an excellent choir program. This is Yorba Linda and we have a lot of parents that want to have an excellent choir program.
