Here is the schedule for the Clinic and Concert coming up next weekend.
High School Auditions Saturday
Attached is the maps and information from Mr. Jesmore at Pittsburg ISD.
Our director meeting will start at 9am and we will begin the audition process as soon as possible after that.
If you have any questions please let me know asap.
Audition Material
Here is the High School Audition Material. After the state website was redesigned I found the information for this was somewhat difficult to find. If you have any questions please let me know.
Region Meeting
The annual Fall UIL Region Meeting is this Friday, August 16th at Mt. Pleasant High School. Since all of our decisions have been made for ATSSB in December and in May, we will not have a meeting at that time.
Our approved calendar is available on the blog, as is the audition material for South Zone, North Zone, and High School Auditions. Remember that the North Zone approved the use of other material for their auditions in November. Do not use the South Zone Music for the North Zone Auditions.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Auditions Entry
The contests are listed on the TMEA website and are open for entries now. Please be aware of the deadlines and the fees associated with them all. If you have any questions please let me know.

Spring Region Meeting
This afternoon is the scheduled TMEA/UIL Region 4 Spring Meeting. All of our dates, times, and locations have been decided as of last January and there are no changes or decisions to be made concerning these.
We do need to have a brief meeting concerning ATSSB Region 4 North Zone Middle School auditions material. After consulting Kenneth Griffin as to how we proceed with this, here is the way we will handle this:
1. Since we are already divided into zones, the North Zone directors (High School and Middle School) will be the ones discussing and voting on this. Being divided, one zone can not vote on the other zone’s material, according to Mr. Griffin.
2. The proposed audition material change will be the only thing discussed in this meeting and decided on. After a discussion a motion and second will need to be presented before any decisions are made to change or not to change the material.
If you have any questions please let me know.
