A Special Message from Dr. Tim for Music Students

Letter to THS Performing Arts Families - 3/16/2020

Dear Performing Arts Families,

I'm sure you're all as mentally exhausted as I am from concern, and from coping with all the changes in our world, and especially in our schools. I know many of you are concerned about school events like graduation, AP testing, finals, and many more. We don't have those answers yet, but I know they're being addressed, and that our district will do all it can to support our students as the year begins to wind down. I did want to take a moment to let you know what our department plan is, as of today, Monday, March 16, 2020:

1. All classes, rehearsals, performances, concerts, festivals, or gatherings of any kind or size by Boise School District students or staff on school grounds (or off) have been canceled until further notice. This includes events scheduled to take place after spring break as well. We do not know if any if any of these events will be rescheduled. As time passes and the picture becomes clearer for everyone, the district will announce their plans and we will formulate our plans accordingly. Events will still show up on the calendar, but it is safe to assume none of them will be taking place until further notice. I hope some of our April and May events can continue as planned, but until we know, hang tight, and thank you in advance for your flexibility.

2. If needed, students may come to THS to retrieve their personal items left at the building, and band and orchestra students may (should) pick-up their instruments so they will have them for the next two weeks. Starting Wednesday, March 18, we will not be able to access the majority of the building until March 30 (as of now). Please plan to take care of any THS on-site items today or tomorrow, and sooner is probably better. Thank you!

3. Keep an eye out for performing arts education and music making opportunities at home! The district will not be moving to online instruction at this time. I encourage everyone to make music in their homes whenever possible, and to take advantage of technology! There are several free music making apps which have been made available as of late (see Moog and Korg companies) and several other free options, such as MuseScore, for composing music. Aside from everything else, this is also a chance for students to rest, recharge and have daily life be just a little less hectic than usual.

4. Performing arts have an amazing effect on our lives and our health, and I can't wait for us to be able to create together again. If we are allowed back in our classrooms with reasonable time, the Performing Arts Department at THS is committed to giving students and ensembles a culminating opportunity of some kind before the end of the school year, whether there is an audience or not. Keep practicing, stay positive and healthy, and I imagine we'll be back to the excitement of performance before we know it.

If you have any questions that I can answer, please feel free to reach out via email at any time! I will also be updating our webpage with any pertinent information as soon as it becomes available.

All the very best,

IMEA State Solo Competition

Hello All,

As things change each day, know that the IMEA leadership is in continual communication about how best to serve our members during this time.

With the cancellation of athletics and activities by the IHSAA, numerous administrators have canceled further solo/ensemble festivals and will not allow their students to record/submit videos for district or State Solo festival, and many have canceled all travel for the remainder of the school year. For this year, the State Solo festival is canceled.

Sincerely,Kathy Stefani
President of the Idaho Music Educators Association
