Thank you to all of our wonderful District II directors and schools for making my first year as your president so enjoyable.  I look forward to serving you and hopefully meeting more of you through my service as President.  Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns (I respond to e-mail the best)

We will continue to use the online registration process for schools and directors.  Please take time this Spring to register your school with IMEA and pay your participation fee.  Please contact myself or any of district representatives if you have questions about the registration process.

One change for our district this year is that we will no longer offer the creative movement group at the JEM festival.  Nominations will only be accepted for the Elementary Chorus.

Please refer to the Senior, Junior and JEM pages from the website for further information on auditions, repertoire and conductors.
