Ensembles 2012

From the Ensemble Committee:  It has come to our attention that the music for grades 4-6 and 7-8 are similar in difficulty.  Therefore, we have decided that teachers and students in those grades can choose which ensemble to join.  In other words students in grades 4-8 can join either Colorado River Rapids or So Suite.   Both groups will be called Middle School.

Ensemble entries are due on Dec. 2. Please fill out the form found on our website completely, and email it to sdoteed@comcast.net.  Fees are also due at that time.  Fees are $20.00 per student entered.  Write one check from your studio made out to CMTA.   Incomplete forms will be returned and late payment of fees will not be accepted.  Auditions are scheduled for January 22 at Wildwood United Methodist Church.
