Three groups from Fayette County Public Schools are invited to perform during the Kentucky Music Educators Association’s 2017 professional development conference next winter.
- Beaumont Middle School’s symphonic band, directed by John Bowmer, 1:25 p.m. Feb. 9 at the Louisville Palace Theater;
- Paul Laurence Dunbar High School’s wind symphony, directed by Teresa Elliott, 2:05 p.m. Feb. 9 at the Louisville Palace Theater; and
- Tates Creek High School’s percussion ensemble, directed by Aaron Cunningham, 2:45 p.m. Feb. 10 in the Galt House ballroom.
For a performing ensemble to be considered, its director submits three or four live recordings from the previous school year, and in June a panel of music professionals ranks the top groups after the competitive audition process. For more information, visit www.kmea.org.
