Dear Colleague, May, 2013
I hope your year has been productive and rewarding since we last met in November. As the school year wraps up, it is time to start preparing for the 2013 IMEA District IX Jr. Band Festival. If you are receiving this, you are one of the directors/schools listed on our database from last year’s festival. If you are aware of any other schools that have not received this material or have not yet participated in the IMEA District IX Jr. Band Festival, please let me know so they can be included.
The District IX IMEA Jr. Band Festival is open to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students who are members of their school music programs. Each participating school is required to pay the annual participation fee indicated in the IMEA newsletter. You should have received this from Jake Stouffer, IMEA District IX President.
Thank you to Mrs. Rebecca Anderson for all of her work this past year in organizing the district band festival. All of her hard work and preparation made for a very smooth and enjoyable festival day!

Other Reminders: Remember to do the best you can to pre-audition your students. Please use careful judgment when completing your online ranking sheet so that only the students who are completely prepared to audition are permitted to do so. Please remember to use the “odd” year percussion etudes and etudes from Cycle 1. In an effort to conserve on copying, the scale sheet and the percussion etudes may be found on the IMEA website @ www.ilmea.org/division.shtml. The cycle of etudes is also posted, however, individual schools are responsible for purchasing the etude books. DO NOT post the audition music on your school’s website. The publisher did not give us permission to do this. Please use the contact information below for your own purposes only. DO NOT COPY THIS SHEET AND DISTRIBUTE IT TO PARENTS AND STUDENTS! Parent questions should be handled by the individual school director. I will send an email in early September with more information regarding auditions and the online ranking sheet process. Please email me at [email protected] if you have any questions. If you have not updated your information in the RNS system, you will not be able to receive any information.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Have a wonderful and restful summer!
