Now is the time to start looking ahead to the 2013 Illinois All-State Conference. Performance and clinic applications for all jazz groups and topics are available in this journal. You can also download them from the IMEA website and submit them after this year’s conference. District presidents and jazz band representatives are encouraged to promote performance groups from their districts for the conference. In addition, jazz educators teaching in all academic grade levels are encouraged to submit clinic proposals.
