Welcome Message

California Music EducatorsAssociation • Central Coast Section

Welcome to the 2016 CCS Honor Concert. On behalf of the CMEA Central Coast Section Board of Directors, congratulations to the top young musicians from four counties who perform today and to those who made the extraordinary effort to audition for these high caliber ensembles. Our Honors Concerts are the largest events we produce annually, building cohesion of pedagogy in the art form and establishing a high standard for music education within our section.

Students are able to expand their study of music with the support of their communities, families, teachers and school administrators by auditioning or participating in this event. Thank you for valuing arts education by supporting a young person’s journey to this stage. Each note represents the hard work and

dedication of the student musicians as well as the people behind them who help see potential and value in this life long skill that preserves culture and tradition.

The guest conductors have selected and prepared some challenging and engaging repertoire while winning the respect and hearts of our Central Coast students and educators. Our students have built new connections with peer musicians and have grown as young adults while preparing for this event -- all in less than 48 hours! Thorough preparation by the conductors and teachers, and diligent work done by the students combine to bring an extra sense of refinement to the concert. If you agree, thank an administrator for keeping music in our schools, and thank a teacher for supporting the professional membership of CMEA/NAf ME.

Today’s concert is being digitally recorded and will be available for purchase. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain a professional recording that preserves and documents this accomplishment for your student musician and family. Ordering information can be found in the lobby. 

Please plan to enjoy the entire concert. Concert etiquette and respect for the musicians asks that you silence all electronics, escort distressed children to the lobby, and use flash photography only between pieces. It is also requested that, if necessary, you enter or exit only between performances.

Thank you for supporting a truly balanced curriculum for your student that includes music educa-tion. Enjoy the concert!

Best Regards,Willow Manspeaker, PresidentCMEA-Central Coast Section
