From the President

Greetings to all, and a warm welcome to the beautiful Broadmoor Hotel and the 2015 Colorado Music Educators Association Annual Clinic-Conference! Excitement and anticipation have been building for some time now, particularly for those dedicated mem-bers who were elected by you to serve on the various councils. Council Chairs and Chair-Elects have been dili-gently working to build the best professional learning experience possible, and that year of planning and effort are about to come to fruition to your benefit. The Executive Board and Bill Kohut (Operations Director) have guided this arduous process from the start. In addition, Margie Camp (Editor), Ken Anderson (Exhibits), Tom Bruszewski (Equip-ment), Michelle Ewer and Doug Sandusky (Tri-M), Marcy Cochran (Technology), and Andrea Meyers (Retired Membership) have all put forth exceptional effort to bring you this annual event. These and many others are what make our conference one that is highly regarded nationally. Please take the time to thank those individuals with whom you come in contact who have had a part in crafting this excellent experience for you! Special thanks to JW Pepper for their continued support in sponsoring the New Educators Luncheon and to Hal Leonard Corporation for bringing Tim Lautzenheiser to us. Our Wednesday opportunities continue to surpass previous efforts every year. Hundreds of middle and high school Tri-M stu-dents gather for a day of learning and inspiration. Beginning in the late afternoon, each Council presents a clinic for those who are for-tunate to be here. In the evening, we are excited to welcome violinist and composer Mark OConnor to our stage, generously presented by the Colorado chapter of the American String Teachers Association! Mr. OConnor seamlessly blends a wide variety of styles in his playing and compositions, and we are indeed fortunate to have a performer of this stature at our conference. Thanks to Colorado-ASTA, Denver School of the Arts and all those who make the Wednesday kickoff well worth the extra effort to arrive early! The Conference begins officially on Thursday morning, and our Keynote Speaker is well-known and eagerly anticipated by all. Tim Lautzenheiser will inspire us with thoughts that seem to bind us all in shared experiences, re-affirming the many reasons for doing what we do in service to music education and our students. This defining opening to the conference is preceded by the artistry of stu-dents from Denver School of the Arts, as the Guitar Ensemble from this exemplary arts school sets the stage for the numerous musical offerings to be shared during the next three days. Then, following a full day of music, learning, exhibits, and friends, the day culmi-nates with the Exhibits Reception and the first of our Presidents Concert events. We enthusiastically welcome the renowned to our stage, with their unique variety of musical genres and exceptional artistry that have earned them the distinction of one of Americas foremost musical ensembles. Friday will feature a second General Session at 11:00, during which CMEA Advocacy Chair Carla Aguilar will continue our work to help guide the Association through the changing educational landscape where law and practice intersect. Bring your open mind along, as we examine the continuing complexities of Educator Effectiveness and Evaluation in partnership with our friends and allies at the Colorado Department of Education. As we move into the peak of the conference Friday evening, after greeting old (and young) friends at the College and University Receptions, return to the International Center for a real treat! An American country music singer and songwriter with over 60 appearances at the Grand Ole Opry and devoted advocate of music education and friend of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME), Sarah Darling has been featured by superstars of country music including Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw. Come experience a different approach to the Friday night Presidents Concert as Sarah presents original material, old favorites, and some real surprises in her repertoire, displaying her talents as one of country musics breakout performers and elite vocalists. This unique performance will feature caberet-style seating and a cash bar, so bring your dancing shoes! As if this was not a fully exceptional conference already, Saturday brings even more performances and learning sessions. While you might plan to spend a bit of time with friends at The Bee, make it another day of inspiration and learning, culminating in concert events with the All-State Jazz groups and the All-State Elementary Choir. As you depart the Broadmoor once again, or after your first time at our conference, may you be inspired and prepared to enthusiastically dedicate yourself to providing a comprehensive and rel-evant music education to your students, tapping every day the well of joy that brought you to this noble profession in service to kids!I hope that you will seek me out to introduce yourself, or take a moment to stop and chat as we experience the 2015 Clinic-Conference together. Thank you for being here, and may you leave with a song in your heart!With great admiration, warm regards, and best wishes

Mark Hudson
