Schedules shifting.
Concert chaos.
Recruitment season.
Twenty-seven tabs open.
One missing music folder.

Music educators know the feeling. 👀

But here’s the thing:
some of the BEST session ideas come from the real-life challenges you’ve figured out along the way.

That rehearsal strategy that finally worked?
That classroom management win?
That recruiting idea that saved your program?

Yeah… other Colorado music educators want to hear about it.

🎤 CMEA Session Proposal Deadline: June 1

The standing ovation.
The lights.
The moment your students walk on stage representing their program at CMEA.

Yeah. That moment.

So here’s your reminder:
👉 Don’t just think about it. Apply.

The CMEA Honor Performing Ensemble application deadline is May 26, and we want to hear from programs across Colorado doing incredible work.

Your students deserve opportunities like this.

🎶 Deadline: Monday, May 26

Hey director…
why isn’t your group applying?

Too busy?
Waiting for the “perfect” year?
Thinking your group isn’t quite there yet?

Let’s gently challenge that.

Your students don’t need perfect.
They need opportunities.

And this is a big one.

📅 Deadline: Monday, May 26

Go ahead—we’ll wait while you open the application 😉

Not your colleague.
Not “someone more experienced.”
Not “maybe next year.”

👉 You.

If you’ve got something that’s working—
a strategy, a system, a rehearsal win—
other Colorado music educators want to learn from you.

And before you say “I don’t know if it’s good enough…”
…it is.

That moment when your ensemble walks on stage—
lights up, focus in, ready to perform…

Now imagine that moment happening at the CMEA Conference.

👉 Your ensemble. That stage.

This is more than a performance—it’s recognition of the work you and your students are doing every day.

📅 Deadline: Monday, May 26

“Maybe we should apply this year…”
“We could probably put something together…”
