Passages Update!

Here are some brief notes about the meeting held to discuss this year's Passages Conference.

Lesley will be doing a short opening to
start the day, probably an experiential.
Berklee is doing the plenary session on their trip to africa.
Anna Maria College will do a short closing.

There will be a raffle held. We need HELP to solicit
donations from music stores for raffle items.

We will also have a NER-AMTAS table set up at the
conference to sell t-shirts and other goods. We hope
to get new students interested in joining the professional
organization and becoming involved at the student level.

***We are looking for presenters and volunteers for set-up and tear down
NO EXPERIENCE NECCESSARY TO PRESENT!!!!!!

Please see Passages.com for more info. on presenting!

I'd try the great folks at Mud Pie Productions to see if they'd like to make a donation for the raffle. Perhaps they can send some catalogs, too. They're local, catalog-only, family-owned & great supporters of MTx. They're the ones who show up to sell instruments at the regional conference:
PO Box 127
Leverett, MA 01054-0127
(413) 548 - 8169

You might also ask seasoned professionals if they have an instrument they are willing to donate--even something they don't use so much any more--along with a note or story about who & where it came from? Just an idea.

Hey, we really need submissions. Can you guys encourage everyone you know to submit? Even if it's still in progress or whatnot, just fill out the form to let us know what you have in mind, or e-mail us to let us know you're interested, and we can help you make it into a polished presentation if necessary. Thanks!
