January 26, 2011
MMEA, Tan-Tar-A Resort
President, Kim Hartley, called the meeting to order and asked for approval of agenda.
Secretary/Treasurer, Stephanie Sekelsky, highlighted the previous meeting minutes and announced the current balance at $15649.75.
Reports:
President-Elect Nathan Long said there were no current changes to the constitution.
Elementary Choral VP Britt Faaborg that this year’s event is good to go. Supervision should be lined up and the concerts will be at 2:30 and 3:30 p.m.
Junior High Choral VP Shea Twenter announced as cost saving maneuvers that they would go to a 2 room use instead of the current 3 or 4 and they will be eliminating the cookie/drink break that was provided by Sodexo. The concert will remain at 3 p.m. Three schools still currently owe their fees. The clinician fee was brought up for consideration to be raised to gain high quality clinicians. Sponsorship was then brought up to help cover some of the fees.
Sidebar – Will check with UCM to see if we can get a group rate. The UCM representatives will keep seeking the recruitment grants for facilities.
Choral VP Charity Johnson announced that Odessa will still host auditions and Sedalia the concert. She also requested that Scott Harvey be named the 9/10 coordinator. (This will be voted on later in the meeting under new business)
Band VP Bryant Knapp said the event went very well and that he would be working on some budget ideas.
Junior High Band VP Jon West said that the event went very well. Next year’s event will be held at Sedalia’s ninth grade building (the old high school).
Jazz VP Adam Twenter also said that the event went well. Next year will still be in conjunction with the Jr. High Honor Band. Jazz band will perform first.
Contact Steve Litwiller with any mentoring needs.
Give Stephanie Sekelsky any information that you’d like to have on the website.
Old Business:
The picnic last September went well. We will seek a date for the 2nd Annual WCMMEA picnic.
Send out information for events early!
Make sure there is a director sign-in at the events.
New Business:
Jon West moved we accept Scott Harvey as the 9/10 Coordinator. Bryant Knapp seconded and the motion carried.
Find officers to replace us!
A committee may be formed to work on ways to balance the events.
Congratulations to the performers from WCMMEA performing here at MMEA.
The meeting ended abruptly as people needed to get to other events. No official motion to adjourn, but we are all grownups and felt we could handle ourselves appropriately. (We all kept a close eye on Nathan.)
