Words from the CD Chair
Greetings from Central District
Let the Release of all our Revised & Updated Festival forms and information begin.
After many months of hard work from a multitude of members CD-MMEA is proud to release final versions of lots of stuff. A big thanks to all who took time to help review, revise and reformat our information.
I am proud to announce that the CD website has now been updated with 95% of the Senior & Junior Festival information. (cdmmea.org)
First, we have revised the 2017-2018 CD-MMEA Handbook. It has been reformatted to make it easier to find information. We have updated the calendar (pg. 3), created 3 levels of eligibility and enrollment limits (pg. 6), changed all of the festival scale requirements and updated our nurse & concert dress policies. This should give everyone a chance to check out the new stuff as you are creating “summer” info for your kids.
Second, on the website you will find;
* the final audition solo lists for both the Jr. & Sr. Festivals,
* the newly revised festival audition sheets,
* the newly revised scale requirements,
* the Sr. Vocal accompaniment,
* a 30 second sample of the Jr. Vocal accompaniment and
* all the Jr. Jazz music, instructions and accompaniments.
At the moment we are still working on creating and should be posting over the summer;
* both the Sr. & Jr. Auxiliary Percussion Solo,
* both the Sr. & Jr. Vocal Intervals Sheet and
* the Sr. Piano Audition music.
Please contact Steve (supmug@comcast.net), if you have any questions, concerns or typo’s. Our goal is give you the tools and information you need to best prepare your students.
Third, the 2017 MICCA Summer Institute will be held July 20th and 21st at Hopkinton High School in Hopkinton, MA. This year will feature a new "conference" format with dedication band, choral and string strands. Various educators will present sessions within these strands along with several sessions that span all strands. The attached flyer lists the educators presenting this year. A full list of conference sessions can be found at http://www.miccamusic.org/summer_institute.html.
Instructions and links to registration as well as information on the "for credit" option through UMASS Lowell can also be found on our site. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions. We hope to see you this summer for an exciting 2 days!
Whew!
Have a great end of the year and a wonderful Summer!
