Get ready to pack your bags! The Texas Music Teachers' Convention 2012 is in Grapevine, Texas, June 14-17, 2012, and YOU could be there! Imagine being part of a ten (yes, 10!) piano ensemble, on stage, performing in costume, in front of hundreds of people! Now imagine 2,500 to 3,000 fellow young musicians and their families arriving from all over Texas to share in the same experience! If you're getting excited now, just wait until you get there!
Four groups of students will represent El Paso's Student Affiliate in the TMTA Convention. Students wishing to participate in one of these ensembles must take and pass the Theory Test. The audition fee is $15 and non-refundable. Costumes are paid for by Student Affiliate.
