The NJMEA State Music Conference
this issue. We are trying to make it easier for every- one to get started requesting approval from their school boards and to process purchase orders. Last year was one of the finest conferences NJMEA has presented and this year promises to be even better. There are three ways in which you can register for the music conference: 1) go to the
njmea.org web- site and register online with a credit card; 2) print a copy of the application form from the website or use the one in this magazine to fill-out and mail in with a check; or 3) mail a copy of your complet- ed application WITH a purchase order from your school. Many school boards are extremely slow in processing these purchase orders. It is wise to start the process NOW to avoid problems at the confer- ence.

A copy of the conference book from LAST YEAR is on the website in case you need to show your principal or supervisor what occurs at our conference. The book for 2015 will be posted at the beginning of February. This cannot be accom- plished earlier because of changes with clinicians and rooms which take place at the last minute. Once we send the book to the publisher, we can post it for online viewing. A new item from last year for new music teach-

he state music conference will be held on February 19-21, 2015 in East Bruns- wick. The application is on page 64 of
uated from college/university, who was a member of their collegiate music education chapter. Those who qualify will receive a $50 discount on the reg- istration fee. The seven (7) academies from last year will be continued: Choral, Wind Band, Technology, Strings, Jazz, Marching Band, and Elementary. There is an eighth academy for Collegiate NAfME members on Saturday. This is a special day for our collegiate members to attend sessions together, have their annual luncheon meeting, and socialize… and it includes lunch! All for $50.00! NJMEA presents one of the largest music con-
ferences in the country. There are only 1 or 2 larger than ours. We did some calculations at our summer re-organiztion meeting and found that the confer- ence costs NJMEA close to $200 and you only pay $150. Now, that is a bargain no matter how you look at it! It is also an excellent method to earn your professional development hours and to improve your teaching skills.
Any NJMEA member who wishes to preside at ses- sions during the conference should look under Con- ferences on the
njmea.org website and download the Presider Form.
