MMEA Elementary Choral Festival Permission Slip Saturday, March 3, 2012
We are excited to announce a new choral event for your Choir-hungry students – the Michigan Music Educators Association Elementary Choral Festival. This event is open to 4-6th grades. The cost for participation is $10 per student.
The purpose of the MMEA Elementary Choral Festival is to promote children's joy of singing. Choral members will have an opportunity to perform high quality choral literature under the direction of expert master clinicians. Our goals are to further develop children's musicianship skills, nurture a deeper appreciation of the choral art through communal singing, and foster a life-long love of choral singing.
The date for the Central part of the state will be Saturday, March 3, 2012, and will be held at Okemos High School Auditorium located at 2800 Jolly Road (NW corner of Jolly Rd and Hulett Rd) Okemos, MI, 48864.
Schedule for this event will be as follows: 8:15 a.m. Registration; 9:00 a.m. Meet the Clinicians: Julie Skadsem from the University of Michigan with Kristin Zaryski from the MSU Children’s Choir and Erich Wangeman, Haslett High School Choral Director leading Warm-ups followed by a performance by a guest ensemble; 9:30-11:00 Rotation of Sectionals with each of the guest conductors; 11:00 a.m. Break; 11:10 a.m. Gather in the auditorium for full choir rehearsal; 11:45 a.m. Performance for parents and teachers.
While students are learning their pieces, parents and teachers will meet with representatives from the Michigan Youth Arts organization to discuss advocacy issues.
We welcome all students who have an interest in developing their singing voice and enjoy working in a large group setting. Students should belong to the chorus/choir at their home school. If there is no such ensemble, teachers can choose students to attend. One or two chaperones (teachers or parents) per school or we recommend one for every 5 children.
