freshly picked apples, and falling leaves. I am still waxing poetic over my experiences this past
W
year attending state conferences in Connecticut and New Hampshire. The beauty of autumn in Manchester and the vibrancy of Hartford in spring were great reinforce- ments to the warm welcomes, spirited camaraderie, and superb musicianship of both events. This school year I will have the honor of visiting with colleagues in Delaware, Europe, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont. It is so exciting to know that I will be sur- rounded by so many like-minded professionals with a passion for music and education. But of course, the grandest event of this year will be
taking place April 3-7, 2019! We will be convening for our 56th
NAfME Eastern Division Biennial In-Service
Conference at the David L. Lawrence Convention Cen- ter in Pittsburgh, PA. This is one of the best opportuni- ties for innovative and best practice professional develop- ment in music education in the country, so plan to take advantage of this stellar experience. Highlights of the conference will include
• An overarching conference theme of Innovation, Access & Insights
• A rousing conference kick-off event featuring inspirational messages from Peter Boonshaft and Tim Lautenheiser, a performance by the Williamsport Area HS Millionaire Strolling Strings and the energizing a cappella stylings of Business Casual.
• A fun Thursday Gala Opening Reception in the Exhibit Hall
• The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in concert Thursday evening especially for the NAfME Eastern Division exquisite Heinz Hall
