Hi. We're the AACI :)

Seeing as how the last blog entry was over year ago, we decided that it was probably time someone posted a
new one, and so I bit the bullet and volunteered to be the first.
As one of the newest members of the Board of Directors, I thought I would write a little bit about my
initial reaction to the position and the things I have come to learn about the AACI over few months.
It has been a fascinating experience, and I am definitely taking all the notes I can on all the business
techniques and management skills that the older and wiser members bring to the table (though I haven’t
quite yet mastered Kurt’s ability to talk on two phones at the same time with a PDA in one hand and
typing in AIM with the other). From my time as a member and leader of All-Night Yahtzee, my experience
prior to this point had been primarily in micromanaging and sheep-herding (and all other collegiate
group Business Managers/Presidents nod knowingly here), but this is a new kind of role, and I love it.
Even as a new member, my opinion and my vote count just as much as each of the other eight members’ do;
I get to express my opinion about all the things I know and love about the AACI, and also the things
that maybe weren’t so great and needed a change.

We'd like to thank the reviewers of the Recorded A Cappella Review Board (RARB) for 3 well-written and insightful opinions on Sing 3. As usual you offer valuable critique to build upon and we very much appreciate it. We're thrilled that the album has been received so well worldwide and we're really looking forward to where Tekay (Thomas King), the very first Sing Coordinator, takes the Sing series in 2007. Stay tuned for submission guidelines and a special announcement regarding the 3rd evolution of Sing very soon!
The reviews were all largely on the money in our not-so-subjective opinions :) To clarify a point alluded to in the reviews: the Sing tracks are selected in October each year by a 3 person committee, whereas the BOCA compilation is selected in November. Last year's committee consisted of Joseph Bates, Nick Lyons, and Gillian Trimboli. We'd also like to clarify a few points about what the 'Sing'vehicle is all about:
