S.C. MUSICIAN SOUTH CAROLINA MUSIC EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION Office of the President 1174 St. Matthews Road, Orangeburg, South Carolina 29115

Dear South Carolina Administrators:

Once again, I bring you greetings from the music educators of our state. We would like to take this opportunity to express our deep appreciation for the out­ standing support and assistance you have granted our organization during the past year. Without your help in carrying out the programs which we establish for the students of South Carolina, we would not be able to accomplish the many goals we set for SCMEA.

Since this is the Handbook edition of the South Carolina Musician, we trust that you will find time to examine it closely and observe the many activities which SCMEA has planned for your students. We are dedicated to the growth and enrichment of all youngsters in our state, and we feel that the opportunities we offer provide not only musical development, but development of every facet of the individual. Everything we have scheduled is planned with our young people in mind, and each event involves many long hours of extra work by dedicated music educators. We do, however, feel that the results are truly rewarding and contribute greatly to the education of our young citizens.

We are always aware of the importance of other activities in which our students must participate, and for this reason, we attempt to avoid conflicts with all SAT dates. However, due to the fact that the fall weather is a factor in many of our events, we have found it impossible to work around every scheduled date for these tests. The students who find it imperative to take the SAT on these par­ ticular dates can be scheduled to participate in our activities at an earlier or later date, or in the afternoon after the testing is completed. Therefore, we do not feel the simultaneous dates should present any problem for your students.

We solicit your continued support for our programs and our members throughout the state, and we hope that our events will prove meaningful to you, your schools, and above all, the students in your care. We wish for each of you a happy, suc­ cessful, and music-filled year.

Sincerely yours,

BETTY JO FERSNER President, SCMEA

The 60% will be arrived at by adding the two concert scores plus their numerical average. VII. JUDGING PROCEDURES/RATINGS Performance: The order of performance will be warm-up, concert, sightreading. The warm-up selection will not be judged. The rating system for each individual judge will remain the same: A.

Greer Music House Presidential Academic Fitness Program Excludes The Arts The Presidential Academic Fitness Awards (PAFA) program, which will recognize 220,000 top high school graduates across the country this spring, has received criticism from the Music Educators National Conference (MENC) for omit­ ting the fine arts from its list of criteria. MENC represents more than 50,000 music teachers and administrators nationwide. Paul Lehman, MENC president-elect and associate dean of the University of Michigan's School of Music, wrote to the U.S. Department of Education to point out "this surprising omis­ sion of the arts...." Lehman noted the inappropriateness of the arts A cut above the rest. exclusion from the PAFA program in light of the attention given to the arts by recent educational reports.

To receive the award, students must have a B-plus or better average in a high school program that in­ cludes at least twelve courses in English, mathematics, science, social studies, foreign language, and computer science. Two requests were made in the letter: 1) that the fine and performing arts be added to the list of fields in which the PAFA students may have taken work, and 2) that a Presidential Arts Awards program be established beginning in 1984-85. Lehman offered the assistance of MENC and other arts education organizations in developing this companion program.
