manuel_pablo Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I would if I lived in SA...or had a private jet. Quote
saxybeast19 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 im going to try and make the trip down there with a couple other people, but its probably not going to work out. but hey theres always next year. Quote
Danpod Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 oooh! I'm going! It helps to live only 15 minutes away. I'm going to try to make it each day but I will be happy if I can just spend one full day at the TMEA Convention. I always have tons of fun at the convention. It'll be interesting to see if BOA has a mass of security guards waiting to keep me away from the Regional lists, considering what happened last year =) Quote
saxybeast19 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 haha wait, what exactly happened last year? Quote
Danpod Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 saxybeast19 said: haha wait, what exactly happened last year? BOA always puts up a preliminary Regionals List for the ones in Texas. No performance times yet, just a list of who has signed up for the regional. There's also a list for the Grand National Championships. I went by to check the list out and started writing a few names down. A couple of people at BOA, people who will remain nameless, told me, "Now Daniel, we don't want to see this posted up on the BOA Forums tonight." I kept my word. I didn't post them there. I, however, did a 10 minute podcast about it that same night! hahaha! It was mean of me and I have since apologized. It seems kind of insignificant but I think that's a big reason why I wasn't accepted back into Team SWAG for the BOA Summer Symposium in 2006. I won't do that this year. I'll let you guys gossip about it =) Quote
saxybeast19 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 ohhhh that? hahahah way to be technical. thats awesome. Quote
FunkyFlute07 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 i'm going to try to go on the 15th. i want to see the wind ensemble from texas state. Quote

aaron067 Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 jakeup said: whats "TMEA"? Texas Music Educator's Association. TMEA hosts an annual convention in San Antonio for all music educators (elementary, band, choir, and orchestra) in conjunction with the Texas All-State Clinics, which is where those students who've made it through the rigorous audition process rehearse and perform with all other top musicians in the state. It's generally believed to be one of the highest honors a high school music student can achieve in Texas. The convention itself is very much like any other state convention, except on a much larger scale. Workshops for the educators are constantly in progress, and all of the Honor groups (band, orchestra, and choir) that were selected from the previous year are invited and required to perform. The convention room floors house hundreds upon hundreds of booths (literally--they're right on top of one another) occupied by all types of companies ranging from fundraising and music to instruments, all things marching band, CDs, flavored reeds, computer software, self-contained practice rooms, and clothing displays that feature some entertaining jokes with suggestions for methods of tuning multiple oboes . Oh! And I can't forget about the huge All-State patches. Those are very important. So, that's TMEA in a nutshell. Quote
