Message from CM Chair

March 8

Theory exam make-up for high school only. I HAVE CHANGED THE DATE. This year the makeup date will be BEFORE the official theory exams at Chabot College.

They will be held at my house, 33045 Korbel Street, Union City, CA 95687 at 4:00 pm.

March 16-17, 23-24

SOUTH REGION Piano Performance dates

March 17

Woodwinds Performance Date held at Anna Poklewski Academy of Music. Check your directory for address.

April 15

Deadline to pay for Convention recitals. Remind your parents to pay through paypal in their portal.

April 20

Branch Honors for both North and South Region. Two different locations.

North Region: Castro Valley Performing Arts. Time to be announced.

South Region: Dominican Sisters Convent, Fremont

June 28 - July 2

MTAC Convention 2019, Hyatt Regency Santa Clara

I will publish North Region Performance results AFTER we complete the theory exam, so that we can accurately count Branch Honors recipients since in order to qualify you now must include 80% theory exam, so the results of the theory exam must be posted.
