Workshop or Clinic at Senior Festival?

Mr. Collins — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 12:14:06 +0000

Is anyone interested in having a 1 or 2-hour session at Senior Districts this year? Some board members brought up the idea and I thought I should pass it on to you. This could also include Junior Districts if you wish.

If so, what sessions would you be interested in seeing? Any clinicians that you think would be willing to offer a clinic?

Please respond to this post with your thoughts.

Senior Auditions

Senior Auditions went very well on Saturday. We all felt that things went very smoothly, with no major issues to mention. Once again, I’d like to thank Peter Tileston and his staff for an outstanding job hosting our auditions once again (and what an amazing facility!) I’m sure I will see some of you again at Junior Auditions on Dec. 6. Keep up the great work you all do for our students.

Congratulations to all that made the 2009 Senior Jazz Band! Also a big thanks to the staff at Brockton High School, Peter Glass, Dave Berry, Lori Anderson, and all of our directors that put in so much time to prepare our students.

Senior Band, Orchestra and Chorus auditions are coming up quickly on November 22. Be sure to check the SEMMEA Website for registration deadlines or changes. Don’t forget that our auditions have moved back to King Philip High School. Hope to see all of you there.

Take Care…

MENC Website

Have you visited the MENC website recently? The newly redesigned site offers a tremendous amount of resources for us fellow educators. What I find most interesting is the “My Music Class” Section, which offers a great selection of lesson plans, and information on standards. Check it out!

Jazz Auditions and More Coming up!

Next week, we have a very busy week. First, we have a very important election on Nov.4 with Question 1 being a very important ballot question. Please do you your research and understand the possible ramifications if Question 1 passes and we all loose vital State funding.

On Nov. 5, we have jazz auditions at Brockton High School. I hope to see many of you there!
