A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Larry Johnson - email
Congratulations to all the students involved in the Metro District Honor Choirs and Ensembles. Your performances were OUTSTANDING! Teachers, below you will find the information and registration form for Recognition Night.
TEACHER & STUDENT RECOGNITION NIGHT - 2012 St. Louis Suburban Music Educators District #5 St. Louis Metro Music Educators District #8
Dear Music Educator:
This year, with the sponsorship of Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, the St. Louis Suburban Music Educators District #5 and St. Louis Metro District #8, will hold the annual “Recognition Night” to recognize outstanding students from instrumental, vocal and general music classroom programs. Through the generosity of the Saint Louis Symphony, we are able to hold this event in the beautiful Powell Hall.
This annual “Recognition Night” will be held on Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 6:30 PM at POWELL HALL.
Each teacher may recognize a total of five (5) students per department in your school; (i.e. 5 for concert band, 5 for jazz band, 5 for choir, 5 for orchestra, 5 for general music, etc.) There is no fee for this event, other than parking. As we want to fill Powell Hall, each student will receive three (3) tickets; there will also be one (1) ticket for the teacher and one (1) for the administrator/principal. Please recommend students who you know will be in attendance. Last year there were several students who were nominated did not attend. We do not want that to happen, since we did have to turn some schools away last year before the event, and in hindsite, they could have attended. If a student is not in attendance that student’s name is not read aloud.
The deadline for the submission of names is FRIDAY, January 13 by 3:00 P.M. Any forms that arrive after that time will be placed on a waiting list, and you will be notified. There are three (3) ways to submit your nominations: by post-mail, faxes (please type or print clearly), or e-mail. The address and numbers are listed on the registration form enclosed. Whichever way you choose to submit the names, ALL of the information, on the enclosed form, must be submitted. Once we have reached the capacity of 2,700 attendees (honorees and guests) you will be placed on a waiting list. Once your form has been processed, you will receive tickets and information concerning the evening. If you do not receive your tickets by February 10, contact your local Chairperson.
Thank you for making this night possible for our children.
Sincerely, Sister Gail Buckman, Chair for Recognition Night, Metro District #8 REGISTRATION FORM
