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.
