New topic of discussion: Music literature.

I think this is a tough decision for any director for any age group because each year can be different, even with the same group. You have new people joining and leaving the group so the dynamic changes, even per semester.

This has happened to me many times both now in college and high school. You have to be open to the group and expect the unexpected.
