2023-24 CMEA Festival Information:
The Connecticut Music Educators Association (CMEA) offers students an opportunity to participate in the Western Region and All-State Festival adjudication festivals. These festivals bring students of like mind and ability together to work with nationally recognized guest conductors. The various ensembles rehearse together for two days and then perform a magnificent concert. Each year, hundreds of high school musicians throughout the state practice and prepare for their audition in hopes of being accepted for this extraordinary experience. Students that excel at the All-State level then have the opportunity to be selected for the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) Eastern Division Honors Festival or National Honors Festival ensembles (offered in alternating years).
This activity is an extension of the Newtown music curricula and has many educational benefits – over the years hundreds of our students have been selected to participate. Students can audition for Choir, Concert Band, Orchestra and/or Jazz Band. Each student is asked to demonstrate their musical skill, musical literacy and interpretation through the performance of prepared scales and repertoire and sight-reading. Students receive an individual critique of their musical strengths and weaknesses as well as recommendations for specific areas of growth. |
