NJMEA State Music Conference

From The

NJMEA President Welcome to the 2022 NJMEA State Conference! On behalf of our Board of Directors, I would like to thank you for joining us for our 2022 New Jersey Music Educators Association State Conference here in Atlantic City. We are excited to be able to greet you in person for the first time since our 2020 conference. It is hard to believe that just two years ago, our entire way of life was upended. Between COVID-19 protocols which have severely changed the way all of us do our jobs and the daily influx of changing information, many of us are doing our best to make it through the day. I want to commend you all for making the investment in your profession and your students by coming to this convention. Professional development is a central component to what we offer our members and is my earnest hope that by taking advantage of the sessions, performances, exhibits, and opportunities to connect with colleagues, you return to school excited, renewed, refreshed, and refocused. As you look through the conference schedule, please note that we have dedicated concert hours that feature several performance groups from throughout the Northeast. Our General Session on Friday will provide us a time to recognize our Master Music Teachers and other award recipients, as well as hear from this year’s keynote speaker, Anne Fennell. We hope you also enjoy our special guest evening performance artists, The US Air Force Band, and the Singing Sergeants! One of the reasons we moved our conference to Atlantic City, was so that you could enjoy some of the evening and social life of the city. Please take some time to visit some of the area’s eateries and stores, they will be grateful for your business. I hope you will join us in Newark at the New Jersey Performance Arts Center, for the performances of our All-State Treble Choir, Concert Band, and Wind Ensemble. The concert will take place on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. This will be the first time since 2020 that our All-State Ensembles have performed in person and we couldn’t be more excited to see them mark this momentous return to the stage! Finally, would like to thank Marie Malara, our Conference Chairperson, and her team for all of their time and hard work in putting together this year’s program. I would also like to thank our Executive Director, Bill McDevitt, for his efforts and aid in all aspects of registration and planning. His wisdom and institutional knowledge have been essential during this transitional time in our profession and our organization. This has been a trying 2 years for the world as a whole, but particularly music education has suffered many setbacks. I firmly believe that this conference can be a moment for you to reignite and reimagine yourself and your profession. Do not miss this moment. Use the momentum from this weekend to propel you to the next level.

Yours, Wayne

2022 NJMEA State Conference Friday Night Gala Concert

US Air Force Band and Singing Sergeants The Concert Band is the official symphonic wind ensemble of the United States Air Force. Stationed at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., it is one of six musical ensembles that form The U.S. Air Force Band. Featuring 52 active-duty musicians, the Concert Band performs across the United States via biannual tours, engages the local community in our nation's capital through numerous concert series, and reaches millions globally through live radio, television, and internet broadcasts. Additionally, Concert Band members perform in smaller chamber ensembles at official military and civilian functions, education outreach events, and local concert venues. The Concert Band performs a wide variety of music ranging from classical transcriptions and original works to solo features, light classics, popular favorites, and patriotic selections. Remaining faithful to the Air Force's pioneering spirit, it is renowned as a champion of new works for band, with dozens of world premieres to its credit. The ensemble is sought-after by many of the world's most highly respected professional musical organizations, including The American Bandmasters Association, the National Association for Music Education, and The Midwest Clinic. The Singing Sergeants is the official chorus of the United States Air Force. Stationed at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., it is one of six musical ensembles that form The U.S. Air Force Band. Featuring 24 active-duty musicians, the Singing Sergeants support military and civilian ceremonial and diplomatic functions, education outreach events, and concerts throughout metropolitan Washington, D.C., and the United States. Formed initially as a men's chorus in 1945 from the rank and file of The U.S. Army Air Forces Band, the Singing Sergeants became the first premier military chorus to enlist women in 1973, diversifying their mission and increasing their scope of musical versatility. Today, the group's members often perform for the Department of Defense and other high-level military and civilian functions, using music to bridge language and cultural differences and helping advance positive diplomatic relations through song. The chorus is regularly featured at regional and national music education conferences, including the American Choral Directors Association, the Music Educators National Conference, and Chorus America. At varied venues, the Singing Sergeants reach a diverse audience with the beauty and power of music. As part of The U.S. Air Force Band, the Concert Band and Singing Sergeants’ mission is to HONOR those who have served, INSPIRE American citizens to heightened patriotism and service, and CONNECT with the global community on behalf of the U.S. Air Force and the United States. The excellence demonstrated by the Concert Band and Singing Sergeants reflects the excellence displayed by all Airmen stationed worldwide, whose selfless service and sacrifices ensure the freedoms enjoyed by citizens of the United States of America.
