The first-ever FSMTA Collegiate Convocation will be
held on October 25-26, 2008 in Ybor City. Held in conjunction
with the state level of the MTNA Competitions, the convocation has been
planned to give our collegiate student members an opportunity to observe
and assist with the competitions, as well as providing a number of
events specifically geared for students. A Saturday evening recital will
showcase their performing abilities, as well as featuring college
faculty artists and a commissioned composition for solo guitar and
guitar ensemble by Rex Willis, with guitar soloist Rene
Gonzalez. Sunday morning activities will include several sessions
specifically designed with students in mind, and the convocation will
conclude with a luncheon banquet early Sunday afternoon.
All collegiate student
members are invited to attend the convocation—both those who belong to a
collegiate chapter and those who hold individual membership. Our student
members are our future, and we hope that this type of event will help
our students build a bridge to their professional careers as music
educators. Registration for the convocation may be made online at
fmta.org; deadline is October 17, 2008. Contact Dr. Megan Walsh at
m.walsh3@umiami.edu for more details.

* (Note: Reservation deadline at Howard Johnson Plaza has been
extended to Wed. Oct. 15th.)
