The NJMEA State Music Conference
already has more than 123 sessions, 14 perform- ing groups and 13 meetings scheduled and that was only at the end of October. There will be many more by February. In addition, there will be the All-State Women’s Chorus, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble concerts at NJPAC. This conference is the third largest music educa- tor association conference in the USA and presents the finest clinicians available. The performances will be presented by some of the best university and high school ensembles in New Jersey. It does not matter whether you graduated from college in the past year or forty years ago. Some- thing new can be learned at this conference which will make your teaching easier and more enjoyable. Have you ever attended a region meeting? All
M
four regions will hold a general meeting which you may attend. Here is a chance to attend one of these meetings, meet the people who are in charge of your region, and learn what your region is doing for you and how you can help your region. Are you a retired music educator? Attend the
New Jersey Retired Music Educators meeting and see how it is possible to continue to be part of mu- sic education while you are retired. Thursday will present seven academies. The academies are special interest sessions including

string, wind band, marching band, jazz, elementary, technology, and vocal. A collegiate academy will be held on Saturday for all of our college music students. The exhibits will open late Thursday afternoon and continue into the evening. There will be concerts pre- sented this night by the Intercollegiate Concert and Jazz Bands.
The general sessions begin on Friday with a General
Session being held at the annual luncheon. The much awaited first raffle will be held at this time. The United States Army Field Band and Soldier’s Chorus will be our featured entertainment on Friday evening and a com- plimentary ticket is included with every registration (if requested). We have had the Band and Chorus perform several years ago, and they are one of the best in the world. This is a performance you do not want to miss. The conference continues on Saturday and is held at the same time as the collegiate academy. Sessions for teaching members will end in time for everyone to be able to attend the All-State concerts at NJPAC. If you have never been to NJPAC before, this is an opportunity you do not want to miss. The facility is fantastic; one of the finest in the country and the All-State performanc- es are always outstanding. It is extremely easy to get to NJPAC (directions are included in the conference book) and parking is readily available next to the building. We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
