My largest job is to lead rehearsals. I make rounds when each of the parts split up to learn a new song, checking in to make sure everything makes sense, as well as making crucial decisions when it comes to the clarity of the music written. As some of our group members cannot read sheet music, this job becomes especially imperative in making sure that everyone is on the same page each step of the way. 

In my time as Assistant Music Director, I have written 7 arrangements for the group, with another 2 in progress at the time of writing this. Currently, the group is performing 2 of my arrangements in their active rotation: Viva La Vida originally performed by Coldplay, and still feel. originally performed by half•alive. The process of arranging a song can be long and arduous; it generally isn't as simple as writing down exactly what is heard in the published song. Acapella music is different in the sense that each part needs to be thought about both singularly and with the rest of the group. As a result, many arrangements come out having the same energy as the song they are based on but a completely different sound overall.
