Orchestra Performance Susan Meuse

Welcome back to a new school year! The All-State Orchestra is currently preparing for the upcoming concerts in November. The conductor, Mischa Santora has picked a great program that the students are working very hard on with help from the rehearsal conductors. It should be a great concert, so we hope to see you in Atlantic City or NJPAC! Since the last issue of TEMPO, the All-State Intermediate Orchestra performed a great concert at Summit High School. Conductor
Brian McGowan did a fantastic job preparing the talented students to perform an exciting program. I must also include a big thank you to Michael Saias for managing the group. The Honors Chamber Orchestra also performed on the same concert. The students did a wonderful job under their talented
conductor, Jim Millar. Thank you also to Alex Dadon for helping out at all of the rehearsals and the concert. Orchestra festivals: be on the lookout for more information soon. I am working on finalizing sites and times. If you think you may be interested in participating and/or helping out, please send me an email!

I would like to welcome all of the newly retired professionals who are relaxing this fall and not stressing over music, concerts, kids and
parents. Please consider joining our group of Retired Music Educators. As members of NJMEA, you are still part of the myriad of events that occur during the year. Many of us still chaperone, attend concerts, manage, and even have seats on the NJMEA board! Our meetings this year are: February 23, 2018 at the NJMEA convention in East Brunswick and Wednesday, May 9, location TBA. If you would like to become more involved, contact me or Frank Hughes, president (
bugle11@yahoo.com) to discuss this further. Our Executive Board also includes Joyce Richardson-Melech, president-elect; Beverly Robinovitz, secretary; Dorian Parreott, treasurer;
Paul Oster, obituaries; Judy Verrilli, Ron Dolce and myself as NJMEA board representatives. Joyce will also be overseeing observations for 2017-2018 Master Music teachers. Frank has many exciting ideas that he will be sharing with you in a newsletter. We would love to see you all at our meetings!
