You won’t want to miss our end of the year party tomorrow! Dress tropical to celebrate summer being on the way. Please come and vote for next year’s board. There also will be food, treats, and drinks. We hope to see you all tomorrow!

Please sign up to bring goods or work the table we still have lots of openings that need to be filled for both tables! The money we earn from this festival goes towards paying our speakers, buying supplies and prizes for door decorating, and other opportunities our chapter is able to give us!

Here is the link to the form.

Mark your calendars we will be having an end of year celebration! We will take this time to elect new officers, play kahoot and more! Make sure to check Masyn’s email to nominate new board members, sign up for jazz fest and other details. Also vote Andrew for the fine arts representative for SGA 😎

Thank you Mason Meyer for sharing with our chapter advice on grading music classes! Everyone watch your email for his slides to be shared as well as for other information we discussed today!

Thank you Dr. Sanderson, Dr. Chen, and Dr. Holdhusen for taking time away from the faculty meeting to talk with our chapter!

Check out this awesome opportunity some of our members got to experience! Nate Jensen, Morgan Riphagen, and Makenna Allen went to the SDACDA conference in Rapid City in January. Thank you South Dakota ACDA for inviting us and providing free registration for college students we learned a lot and plan on attending again!
