Dear CCMA Friends, August 27, 2010

Happy Back-to-School days for moms, dads, and students!
I am happy to greet you again and to bring you the news from CCMA:
Our activities this year include three concerts and a youth ensemble competition. The concerts will be at the Unitarian Church on Fee Lane and all will be at 2:00 PM Here are the dates:
October 24th, 2010
February 6th, 2011 (winners of the youth ensemble competition will be featured)
March 13th, 2011
Our October concert is completely filled but there are still openings on the March concert for those of you who wish to play. Please consult our Program Chair, Lilin Chen at lilchen@indiana.edu .

The CCMA youth competition invites student ensembles of any instrumentation to apply. This juried competition will be held on January 20th, at the U.U. Church at 2:00. There will be monetary awards for winners as well as an opportunity to perform in a CCMA concert the following week on February 6th. Applications should be submitted to me by January 21st. Please talk this up with all the music students you know and encourage them to apply. The application form is on this web site.

The CCMA fiscal year begins in September so please send your dues in now to our treasurer, Carol Huffman at 2724 E. Pedigo Bay Drive, Bloomington 47401. These nominal dues support the organization in many ways, including mailings, posters, refreshments, and the awards for the youth competition.
