String Day and All-State Links
Colleen Tan, President
The string teachers met in March in Huntington at the All-State Conference. Highlights included annual awards plus presentation of the state chapter award for best improvement in membership. The next meeting is planned for October 15 in Fairmont. We will have a luncheon meeting following the state solo competitions. An email will be sent to members for lunch reservations. Please plan to make the meeting.
All-state materials are being finalized. Thanks to Justin Jones who is chairing it again this year. He has set up a website to keep everyone updated with deadlines and repertoire: https://sites.google.com/site/westvirginiaallstateorchestra/home
Please consider sending students to the WV String Day 2011, held in Institute this year at West Virginia State University. Students in grades 8-10 are eligible. Dowload the registration form!. We hope to see you there! (continued)
ASTACAP is coming soon, May 7. It will be open to ASTA members in neighboring states who may find the Charleston location closer than one in their state.
The ASTACAP will take place in Charleston on May 7, 2011. Directions and location TBA.
For more information on specific technique and repertoire, please visit the newly updated ASTA national website at astaweb.com and look under Member Services and then select the Certificate Advancement Program. You will need your ASTA login to access this link.
