027. Creating a Promotional Video to Recruit Singers to Your Choir Program

The Choir Director Corner Podcast

Continuing our series on end-of-the-year topics, this week I’m talking about recruiting. Recruiting choir members is always an important part of a choir director’s job, but after going through a pandemic, almost ALL of us are facing rebuilding our programs. If you haven’t done any recruiting this year, that’s okay--there are still some ways that you can reach those prospective singers before the end of the year.

One of the ways we can bring in new singers (or, get singers that left to return) is with a video promoting our choir program. Creating a video, and then sharing it in various ways using the internet and social media, is a great way to communicate to prospective students the many reasons why they should join our program. And in today’s episode of the podcast, I will share with you ideas on how to create your video, what to put in it, and then how to share it with those prospective singers.
