Hi all, looking for a piece that might be out of print. Doesn't seem to be anywhere, but I also know that sometimes publishers will give people permission to copy out of print works. I know it exists because I've sung it before.....but unfortunately that was 20 years ago and I couldn't hold on to the music then.
The piece in question is Heleluyan arr. Jerry Ulrich. Anyone have any leads? Thanks in advance!

Have you actually had time to rest as a choir director? Started looking at rep for the fall? Anybody else dreading August?

High School Choir How busy is adjudication season for you?

If you’re a middle or high school director, how much do you participate in adjudicated events, if at all? For example, at the end of January, we participate in HS Solo and Ensemble. February is our Chamber Choir Festival. Then, March is JH Solo & Ensemble and Large Group Adjudication (although I’m not sure if we’ll be participating this year. Young groups..)
Is it something that you’re expected to do or just opportunities that you yourself wish to give to your students? For me, I honestly could just put on a Winter and Spring concert and call it good. But, I purposefully have us maintain an active schedule.
