Senior High School Concert Festival
(updated 12.23.20)
(updated 12.23.20)
Below is the schedule for the CDMMEA Masterclass clinics scheduled for Saturday January 16th, 2021.
Due to the large number of students participating we have not been able to separate them into specific sessions yet. You will get an email in early January indicating which session each student should attend.
All directors will be emailed in January the zoom link for the masterclass to give to their students.
Just a reminder that students who are performing in the masterclass should prepare a classical style piece. Vocal students who are performing for the masterclass should prepare a classical song or folk song. It can be in English or a world language. If you have questions regarding if a piece is appropriate you can contact myself or the appropriate ensemble manager. Their contact emails are listed on the website.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Happy Holidays,
Arthur
