All-State Music

Searching for music

Music is now being housed at the Bangor Public Library. District V music educators worked with Gina Provenzano to organize all the past Band and Orchestra music used at All-State with bright pink stickers so it’s easy to find.

The MMEA Board is trying to gather any music that has been used in the past for Band and Orchestra All-State. If you have been a manager or know someone that has been a manager or have borrowed All-State music, could you please bring the music to the All-State registration, May 17, to be collected by Gina Provenzano. You may contact Gina directly to make other arrangements at gprovenzanodistrictv@gmail.com.

Choral music has already been delievered to the Bangor Public Library and will be available soon. Once the band and orchestra music is collected, this music will also be available to all music teachers free of charge (must have FREE libray card) and can even be delivered free of of charge through library loans.  You will simply need to go to URSUS or call the library. The Bangor Public Library has agreed to maintain and MMEA is most grateful.

Please spread the word!!

Music and Excelling in School

All State Music Festival continues

This post is taken from the WCSH6.com website and submitted there by Sam Moore Young

The correlation between participation in music and excelling academically is on display at the All State Music Festival on the Gorham campus of USM.

Poland Regional High School students Ben Albee and Tyler Myers are prime examples.  Myers, singing bass in the All State Chorus, is the salutatorian of his graduating class. Albee, playing trombone in the All State Orchestra, is also an honor student and will be Master of Ceremonies at graduation.

There are many students at the MMEA All State Music Festival who are the top students at their schools including Kaitlyn Kinsey, playing flute in the All State Band, who is Valedictorian of her class at Fort Fairfield High School.
