PASSING THE BATON
After more than twenty years as conductor of the East Alabama Civic Chorale, Jim Sikes has retired and passed the conductor’s baton to Dale Peterson. According to Peterson, “Retiring is not the correct word to use in this situation. In fact, Jim has graciously accepted the position of Conductor Emeritus of the Civic Chorale.”
