With the beginning of winter comes the start of PMEA season . The Pennsylvania Music Educators Association provides excellent educational experiences for music students of many ages , stretching from early January all the way into May . At most PMEA " festivals ," expert music educator / conductors are hired to work with high school students from across our Central Pennsylvania region ( and beyond ) for two to three days . Each experience concludes with a concert , and it is quite impressive to see and hear how much an ensemble improves over the course of only a few days .
The top musicians -- those who qualify by audition to move on to the next level -- receive their new music shortly after the conclusion of the festival , and their cycle of musical preparation begins again . However , the benefits of the festival do not cease for those who are not advancing to the next level . That ' s the beauty of the PMEA festival system : When students return to their home schools after a festival , they are returning with sharper skills , better musicianship , and a wealth of new knowledge that they can share with the rest of their musical peers . In truth , PMEA benefits the entire music program , even though every school only sends a small percentage of its music students to each festival . Our top musicians have fantastic educational experiences , and everyone benefits from them !
The following Central Mountain High School music students are participating in ensembles at the District and Regional levels during the month of February . If you see them out and about , please wish them luck on their next level of auditions !
