Monday Notes

Happy (almost) Monday! As we gear up for Thanksgiving and a well-deserved break, we wanted to share a few quick reminders to help you wrap up smoothly before the holiday. Wishing you a fantastic week filled with harmony and gratitude!

This week's advocacy challenge offers a wonderful opportunity to bring more people into your fall performance! It's a perfect way to involve others and inspire parents and students to attend and support your concert.

• Ask the art teacher to provide a small display of student work at your concert.

Ensure your All-State students have the music they need to succeed by placing your orders early! Follow this link for vendor details and information on obtaining choral learning tracks.

Choral directors needing fewer than 8 copies of Bogoroditse Djevo, can purchase them directly from Musicality.

Have you submitted your purchase order for your student’s All-State participation? And don’t forget one for your own registration, too! Avoid any last-minute stress with the business office by requesting it today—and be sure to forward a copy to Neil Swapp!

Please watch your email the first week of December for participation invoices. Please plan on having a PO in place prior to December 1st.

This is your weekly reminder to register for the conference! Remember that there is a price increase on December 15th, so take care of this soon! Below are a few helpful links to help you prepare for the conference:

• Main conference page (check back for updates)
• Registration link
• Conference hotel link
• Fee list
• Quote generator

Due to the snowstorm and school closures in the northern part of the state, the deadline for audition uploads was extended, which will also delay the posting of results. We appreciate your patience as our audition team completes the scoring process. Thank you!

No need to call, email, or text - they will be communicated via OpusEvents as soon as they are completed!

For those of you who weren't cc'd on the email from Zac with NMAA, the state contest date has been set for October 25, 2025. More information will be forthcoming. Mark your calendars!
