finding date between terms of dates

I have an array of terms which have start-dates and end-dates. how can I find whether today falls between the terms. code is 

  var termsforcurrentCalendar = UnitOfWork.SchoolTerms.Query().Where(x
  => x.SchoolCalendarId == currentCalendar.SchoolCalendarId).ToArray();

   var noOfTerms = termsforcurrentCalendar.Count();

    for (int i = 0; i < noOfTerms; i++)
   {
      if (DateTime.Today > termsforcurrentCalendar[i].EndDate)
      {
          if (i != noOfTerms)
       {
           if (DateTime.Today < termsforcurrentCalendar[i + 1].StartDate)
        {
           datetoBeChecked = termsforcurrentCalendar[i + 1].StartDate;
        }
     }
    }
   }

How about using a bit of linq niceness:

var isTodayInTerm = termsforcurrentCalendar.Any(a => 
    DateTime.Today >= a.StartDate && DateTime.Today <= a.EndDate);

As per comment, to get the next term:

var nextTerm = termsforcurrentCalendar.OrderBy(a => a.StartDate).FirstOrDefault(a =>
    a.StartDate >= DateTime.Today);

var isTodayInTerm = termsforcurrentCalendar.Any(a =>DateTime.Today >= a.StartDate && DateTime.Today <= a.EndDate);

if (!isTodayInTerm)
{
    var firstAvailableDate = termsforcurrentCalendar.OrderBy(a=>a.StartDate).FirstOrDefault(z => z.StartDate > DateTime.Today);
    datetoBeChecked = firstAvailableDate.StartDate;
}
