Kelly, PhD It’s Time to Celebrate Musical Excellence: President Past, Present, & Future! Florida Music Education elcome to the 2020 FMEA Professional Development Conference! I am so excited to have you here and Association Whope this will be the best conference you have ever attended! We will celebrate those who have built our foundations, those currently doing so much magic, and those who will carry our ideals into the future. So much planning and preparation have gone into this experience. I want to thank John Southall and his Conference Planning Committee for their endless hours of work. The work done by the FMEA staff is invalu- able and so often goes unnoticed. Thanks to each of the FMEA components and the FMEA Board of Directors for their work and organization. Finally, a huge thank you to the many volunteers for their commitment to our success. So much awaits you, and I believe there is something for everyone. We begin the conference on Wednesday afternoon with the FMEA Preconference entitled Diversity in Music Education: Past, Present, & Future. Congratulations to Dr. Shelby Chipman on this outstanding preconference. The annual FMEA Student Leadership Workshop will also be held on Wednesday afternoon, with Mr. Fran Kick presenting. Wednesday night (7:30 pm) will be the President’s Concert featuring the Niceville High School Wind Ensemble, the Treble Voices of Lake Nona Middle School, and the nationally recognized Dillard Center for the Arts Jazz Ensemble. Composer Libby Larsen is the keynote speaker for the First General Membership Session. The feature per- forming ensembles during this event are Sonic Escape and the Florida State University Wind Ensemble. This year, an additional Concert Hour is scheduled, featuring the Eau Galle High School Chamber Orchestra and the Dr. Phillips High School Wind Symphony (Thursday, 8:30 am). Anne Fennell is the keynote speaker for the Second General Membership Session. The annual awards presentation will be held during this session, and the FMEA Hall of Fame recipient will be honored. This session provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of many outstanding music educators, school programs, and administra- tors. Voci del Cuore (Voices of the Heart), under the direction of the 2019 recipient of the GRAMMY Music Educator Award, Dr. Jeffery Redding, will also perform during the Second General Session. The Florida State University Wind Ensemble will perform on Thursday afternoon (4 pm). The nationally renowned Sonic Escape duo will be performing on Thursday evening (7:30 pm). Year five of the FMEA Digital Music Showcase and a number of outstanding high school and middle school ensembles are scheduled throughout the week. Year four of the FMEA Student Conference Experience will provide an opportunity for student participants to attend a select number of activities to include numerous presentations and concert performances, which will focus primarily on our diverse and ever-evolving world of music. There are also 22 all-state ensemble performances scheduled during the conference. There will be so many opportunities to reconnect, meet new friends, hear new ideas, and renew a sense of purpose. So much to experience, so much to celebrate! Enjoy! Sincerely, Steven N.
