Attend the October WSMA Honors Concerts!
Plan now to attend all four WSMA State Honors Music Project concerts that are held in conjunction with the Wisconsin State Music Conference. The performances are certain to inspire and rejuvenate music teachers. The spirit, musicianship and performance quality of these concerts is a reminder of the many reasons we go into this profession. These concerts provide the
