• Pre-Conference Academies: Similar to what we normally offer with 6 session slots on Wednesday
• General Sessions/Keynotes: On Thursday and Friday, there are Keynotes and Concerts during our “General Session” timeslot. One of the Keynote speakers is Rita More- no.
• Student Concerts: Thursday and Friday have “Designated Concert Hours” when some of the finest school Bands, Choirs, Orchestras, and Jazz Bands from the Eastern Division have the opportunity to perform for attendees. For some at- tendees, this is the highlight of the conference.
• Evening Concerts: Each evening has entertainment for attendees. On Wednesday, there will be a con- cert by Dr. Steven Ball performing
on the “World’s Largest Organ” in historic Boardwalk Hall. On Thursday, we will be entertained by The New York Voices. On Fri- day, the Air Force Band and Sing- ing Sergeants will close our series.
• All-Eastern Ensembles: On Friday and Saturday, there will be performances by our All-Eastern Honors Ensembles including Jazz Ensemble, Mixed Chorus, Orches- tra, Treble Chorus, and Symphonic Band in historic Boardwalk Hall.
This entire conference is a monu-
mental undertaking, but is being done so in very capable hands. Our General Conference Manager is Debbie Sfraga. For the past year, she has spent count- less hours of preparation dealing with venues, hotels, sub-contractors, as well as logging in all of the more than 800 All-Eastern students and all of the con- ference attendees. With her in the lead,
I’m confident that this conference will be amazing! Marie Malara is our Con- ference Chair. She is putting together the entire schedule of clinicians, con- certs, receptions, and General Sessions. Keith Hodgson is our All-Eastern BOCJ Ensemble Chair. He and his staff are or- ganizing the student rehearsals and per- formances. Nancy Clasen is organizing our exhibitors in preparation for a mas- sive exhibit hall.
If you look throughout this
TEMPO edition, you will find plenty of information about the conference and links for registration and hotel rooms. There are also links on our website. For the most up-to-date information, go to
