Monday Notes

As you look forward to your winter break, NMMEA wanted to wish you a happy holiday season filled with fun, family, and rest! Please take a few minutes and review this newsletter for important reminders and information. Happy holidays and we will see you in January!

Just a reminder that the clock is ticking on taking advantage of the early conference registration deadline! Act today and save, remember the price increases on December 15th.

We all know that there is nothing fun about POs and the rules that surround them…but please, please, please, make sure to have either made payment or provided a PO for payment for your conference registration, audition fees, and student participation.

This will need to be taken care of before the conference and as you know, there is little time after the beginning of the year to get things in place.

Tentative schedules for All-State and the conference can be found here. Please plan on downloading guidebook from the App Store and using the conference app for the final schedule.

Have you purchased a ticket to the luncheon? Don’t miss out on this highlight of the conference. There is a limited quantity available, so contact Neil Swapp soon to purchase yours!

By now you should have secured music for your students and they should be well on their way to learning it. Just a few reminders:

• Check the program (link) to make sure your students have all music
• All choral music must be memorized before arriving to All-State

Make sure to remind your students to bring the following to All-State:

• Folding stand (instrumental students).
• Music (all students).
• Concert dress for Saturday performance (same as they wear for school concerts).
• Spending money.
• Mutes, mallets, instrument supplies, etc.
• Rehearsal clothing (school clothes meeting your school’s dress code).

See you in January!
