ENSEMBLES FOR CONVENTION

The Ensembles of the Bluebonnet and Austin affiliates of the Texas Music
Teachers Association will perform at the State Convention in Dallas in
midJune
.
Students who have passed their theory tests may participate.
Students are required to attend local rehearsals on Saturdays in May, and
perform with the group at the state convention. It is awesome to see these
groups performing on eight grand pianos. This would make a nice family
vacation.
The registration deadline is January 18 .

Here are some photos of convention ensemble groups:

Something cute for the theory geeks out there. Terrible voice, but
creative approach to "analysis?"
