Reptertoire and Standards Committee Purpose and Function

The fourteen Repertoire and Standards (R&S) Committees, established by the national board of directors, provide support, vision, and resources for every major area of choral works within the ACDA.  Repertoire and Standards Committees play an important role in serving their respective choral genres. R&S committees provide:

• Leadership
• Information
• Networking
• Excellence among colleagues
• Professional growth
• Choral music in the lives of people

Repertoire and Standards Committees chairs, appointed at the national, division, and state levels, serve conductors, teachers, composers, and constituencies who share similar interests. Chairs possess demonstrated expertise in a specific choral area and serve as leaders in the three primary efforts: 

• Collaboration
• Communication
• Commitment

The Repertoire and Standards Committees have a vital role in the ACDA. Repertoire and Standards Committees chairs and their members provide resources that promote excellence in all aspects of the performance of choral music
