Choral Procedures eagerly prepared for the 2013 All-State Women’s Chorus. We had one final rehearsal on Sunday, Feb. 3rd before
the NJMEA convention and concert. We were ready and excited for this concert. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the NJMEA conven- tion as our son is graduating Chiropractic College on Feb. 22nd. Hillary Colton was my replacement, and worked with Donna SanGiovanni and Joe Cantaffa to thoroughly prepare the girls for Lucille Kincaid, the conductor. The audition bulletin for the 2013 auditions, which will take place on April 13 at the South location and April 20th at the North
location, is online and ready for download. We have all of our key people in place to make the auditions run smoothly. We are happy to add Jamie Bunce from Columbia HS in Region 1 to our Choral Procedures Committee. Now our committee is complete with 3 representatives from each region.

60TH Plans are underway for the 60th Annual Jr. High-Middle School Chorus Festival Annual Jr. High-Middle School Chorus Festivals. These festivals are sponsored by NJMEA; they continue
to spotlight these choruses from throughout the state of New Jersey. The Festivals will be held at two separate locations. The first event (South Site) will take place at Rowan University on April 24, 2013. The deadline for applications is March 18, 2013. The second event (North Site) will be held at Rutgers University on May 25, 2013. The deadline for applications is April 22, 2013. The time of each event is 9:30 – 1:30 PM. The application forms can be found on line at
www.njmea.org, and they can also be found in the January edition of Tempo magazine. A maximum of ten (10) registrations will be accepted at each site. Each participating group will receive written evaluations by the adju- dicators and a plaque from NJMEA which recognizes the commitment to and involvement in music by the school, its chorus, and director. Choral Directors seeking to have their choruses perform and receive adjudication should consider registering for one of the two festivals.
