AOA moved its 2017 composition contest deadline up to June 1, 2016. This competition is open to any composers who have written a piece for full orchestra between January 1, 2014 and the deadline. Submissions for this contest are received from around the world. The winning composition will be performed by the 2017 All State Festival Orchestra at All State in February. The composer will receive $1,500 and travel (from a point within the USA) and lodging expenses to attend the 2017 All State Festival as the Composer in Residence. For more information on this competition and for application forms, please visit

I am honored that I was elected to serve as President of AOA and I have enjoyed my two years in this office. It has been a joy to be on the planning side of All State
and AMEA, two events in which I greatly benefited from as a high school student attending All State or as a college student and young professional attending the AMEA conferences.
Serving in this
capacity has given me a huge appreciation for all the people who make these functions happen each year. Thank you all for trusting me to do this job and giving me this opportunity to serve. I am very excited that we will have a stellar group of incoming officers to the AOA board. I know GREAT things are in store for our organization under the direction of these individuals. This is an exciting time in Alabama when Orchestra Education is growing. I am confident that this group of officers will enhance the opportunities for students around the state to participate in string education.
