MMEA is excited to introduce: the All-State Popular Music Ensemble! This ensemble will be significantly larger than a standard popular music ensemble and will perform in multiple styles, including rock, pop, country, R&B, hip hop, and more! Selected students will have input on songs that are programmed including creating originals. Your school does not have to have a modern band program in order for your student to audition! The audition timeline for the Popular Music Ensemble is the same as the other All-State ensembles, but the event will not take place at All-State Camp. There will be a few virtual rehearsals in the fall of 2027. An in-person weekend rehearsal and concert will take place in January 8-9, 2028 at Anoka-Ramsey Community College in C**n Rapids. The rehearsal will conclude on Sunday afternoon with a concert. A reprise rehearsal and performance will take place at the MMEA 2028 Midwinter Convention at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
