A Staff Member’s Perspective On The JCC

"I’ve been blessed to be involved with the JCC since its beginning. I helped the Founding Director, Jim Taylor as a volunteer and did the same when Twila Miller took over. When she left, the JCC Board asked me to help lead a choir while they conducted a nationwide search for a new artistic director. It was a fun year, and I learned a lot!

In 2006, the Board brought on Darren Dailey from the Boston Children’s Chorus. I’ll never forget how he watched me conduct a rehearsal. I was so nervous! But he put me at ease when he asked me to stay and continue as a conductor, and I did whatever I could to help the Chorus grow throughout our large city.

It’s been amazing to watch the Chorus grow from 16 original singers to well over 350 today. Mr. Dailey ingeniously kept it going during the pandemic! While choruses across the country shut down, Jacksonville Children’s Chorus has never missed a beat. This is the sign of an organization that is healthy, viable, and strong." - Virginia Barnett Dickert, Training Choir Conductor
