Remember that it is a good idea to check these links from time to time in the event that there are updates to audition material.

As you might know, the Executive Committee met in late March to finalize many details of the 2025 All-State Music Festival & In-Service Conference. One topic that was discussed was audition dates. The Committee made every effort to move choir audition dates earlier, however after considering the many fall breaks it became evident that an earlier window wasn't realistic. Hopefully in the future when school calendars become a bit more unified we can look at this again.

It is that time of the year to really start looking ahead and meet this week's advocacy challenge. Start now so the calendar can be shared with parents and administrators before summer break.

• Begin working on next year’s calendar
  

An idea was brought forward to have the General Music Section meeting at the conference on Wednesday afternoon rather than at lunch on Thursday. General Music Teacher (only), please take this quick, one question, survey to provide feedback to the Executive Committee.
