The 160 singers have been posted for the very FIRST KMEA All State Elementary
Choir to perform at the President's Concert on Thursday, February 25 at 6:00 PM. I
want to personally thank the judges, KMEA District Elementary Chairs, KMEA
Executive Council, KMEA Webmaster Troy Johnson, and Jill Wiechman (Assistant
Choir Chair) for their excellent commitment and support of this new choir. There were a
total of 594 entries this first year! This is an overwhelming confirmation that this choir
was needed in the state of Kansas. President Martha Gabel is to be commended for
her vision of including elementary grades 3-5 in the All-State concerts!
All of the information is listed on the KMEA website at
ksmea.org/elemchoir.
I am excited that our
singers will have the opportunity to work with Elaine Quilichini, who is known to many
of you in the field of Children's Music Education. I would encourage you to come and
watch the rehearsals on Thursday, February 25 from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
See you at KMEA!
