Take Note

The Third "Take Note" issue was sent out December 1st, 2001. It contains information about the 2002 In-Service Workshop, information for students wanting to run for state president/vice president, names of students participating on the Tri-M panel, etc. If you are a student, please ask your advisor or your chapter president for a copy of it. They were asked to copy it off for you. If you did not receive one, please email/call me and I will mail you a copy.

Tri-M

I am proud to announce the following CMENC students have been chosen to participate in the 2002 ISW Tri-M panel.

* Andrea Gilligan - Emporia State Univesity
* Staci Horton - McPherson College
* Leo Rexwinkle - Independence Community College
* Shannon O'Toole - University of Kansas
* Jenna Hirsch - Baker University

This panel will be called "So, You're Going to College." It will meet Friday, 10:15-11:15am in Century II, Service Club. This clinic will be geared toward Tri-M students wanting to be music majors in college. However, please come to this panel and support your fellow CMENC colleagues. There will be open discussion that you make ask questions and share your input as well.

KMEA Website

KMEA has just finished a brand new design for their website!!! Check it out at:

http://www.ksmea.org

It is now up and running. It contains information not on just CMENC, but KMEA and all it's fellow associates, like KBA, ACDA, etc. It will have the names of the students who made the All-State ensembles, forms to fill out for auditions, sign up sheets to join KMEA and much more. Please take some time and look at this site. I think you will find it quite useful, especially after you've graduated, become a teacher and member of KMEA.

What is new with your chapter?

We would like to know about all the events that your chapter is planning for the next year and then we would make a master calendar for everyone. This project would help encourage all chapters to communicate and be involved with one another. Students could particpate in performances, workshops and clinics throughout the state. Please email/mail this information to me as soon as possible. Also include any chapter growth you have this next year.
