Dear Colleagues,
I want to take this opportunity to inform you of a major
change that has come about regarding All-State
Orchestra. I was informed last week that CU had
inadvertently booked both All-State Orchestra and the
Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra in Macky Auditorium for
the weekend of February 12-14, 2009. We immediately
began working with Dean Sher at CU to look at all
available options regarding facilities and dates. We
also began to look at other venues that would suit our
needs. After much discussion, the All-State Governing
Board and CMEA agreed that the All-State Orchestra
weekend would move to the Colorado State University
campus in Fort Collins for this year. The concerts will
be held in the Edna Rizley Griffin Concert Hall.
Because of facilities at both CU and CSU, we were faced with a tough decision regarding the final concert. For this year only, there will be 2 separate concerts for the All-State Philharmonic and the All-State Symphony Orchestras. I have scheduled a special meeting of the Governing Board to discuss specifics and will post information as soon as we have more concrete details. We will discuss this issue at our Director's Review Meeting on February 14. I hope you will all attend.
Sincerely,
Peter Toews
Director of Bands

Chair - Colorado All-State Orchestra
