THREE SUCCESSFUL ECMEA AUDITION FESTIVALS in the books. Congratulations to Students& Teachers. #Backinpersonfeelssogood #musicinschoolsisaliveandwell

A note from TJ Mudd (chairmen of ZONE 1 JH Area All State): Junior High Area All State Registration must be completed by end of school day Monday February 7th 2022. Chairpersons are meeting at 5:00 that evening to select ensembles. Please don’t miss the cut off. Thanks!

In cooperation with our host sites has decided to make masks and bell covers optional for all of our ECMEA festivals. We will maintain our current 3-foot spacing as closely as possible in the ensembles. The optional masks will apply to everyone in attendance at these events.

ECMEA encourages parents to monitor their child's health and check their temperature before attending the festival rehearsals and concerts. If the child is not feeling well, they should not attend the event.

We are looking forward to this weekend’s TWO festivals… our Elementary and Jazz. CONGRATULATIONS to our Student Musicians!

Congratulations Sweet Home Music Department for a successful Elementary All-County Festival. The band, orchestra, and chorus students worked hard and sounded amazing. How exciting to hear the sounds of music again! Sweet Home Central School District Mike Ginestre, Ed.D. Jackie Wzientek ECMEA @OfficialNYSSMA

My youngest sang at Kleinhans Music Hall today with the wonderful ECMEA All-County Chorus & Orchestra. Great production thanks to all of these elementary school music teachers and students.

That’s a wrap for day 1 of ECMEA the 2022 JH All-County Festival. We had 9 Iroquois musicians in attendance. Students from across the county will perform a concert tomorrow at Lancaster Music after only a few hours of rehearsal together.
