work that Dave created. Now an annual event, the Showcase Concert is currently co-sponsored by Make Music/Finale & Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, features guest artists, and is presented to an audi- ence of all-state student musicians in the Civic Center Teater.
I am excited to see where the VP-Elect for SGM, Mr. Nick Jaworski, leads us in the years to come. It has been a pleasure to work with Nick this past year as he prepares to step in to this role. Nick has an infectious energy for Secondary General Music programs, and I am confident he will create amazing op- portunities for those of us who value non-performance music courses in the high schools of Illinois.
Tere are several people I would like to thank for the support they have given me
Are you looking for outstanding performance in a rigorous liberal arts tradition?
• Scholarships for talented musicians of any major
• Music education program with teacher certification
• Opportunity to work closely with nationally-renowned
faculty
as I have traversed the responsibilities of this role for the past six years. To Randy and Linda Kummer: thanks for all you did to support a new time-slot for the Composer Showcase Concert, making it an annual feature of the conference, and finding a creative way to open up the event so the All-State student perform- ers may attend. To Darcy Nendza: thank you for leading our organization–and Board of Directors–with vision for artistic excellence. To my fellow board members: thank you for your volunteer efforts on behalf of Illinois student musicians; you have inspired me over the past six years. To Bill Froom, our Publications Editor: thank you for moving our various IMEA publications into the 21st
century, and for creating the
creative spark for our journal articles. To my Downers Grove District 99 music colleagues–especially Pattie DePeder–
thank you for your support locally dur- ing the course of the academic year and especially during IMEA crunch time. And most importantly to my spouse, Kristen and children Miles and Emery: thank you for patiently supporting my work with IMEA.
I have truly enjoyed my opportunity to serve the membership of IMEA as a spokesperson for Secondary General Music teachers in Illinois. Tank you for the opportunity.
