Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of Saskatchewan Music Educators Association and the Honour Group Committee, I invite you to encourage students to participate in the 2010 Provincial Honour Band, Choir and Orchestra projects. It is my pleasure this year to welcome Clinton Marshall and Scott Leithead as the band and choir directors. Under their direction, we are certain that participation in the 2010 Honour Groups will be a memorable and rewarding experience for everyone involved.


SMEA has a mission; and that is to promote the development of high standards of music and music
education. The honour group committee’s commitment towards musical excellence supports this
goal. With your assistance, we offer an opportunity to expand the musical horizons of the
province’s young musicians. You play a very important part in the enjoyment and positive
experience available to your students.

All students who will be in grades 9-12 in the fall of 2010 are eligible to audition. Specific details concerning SmartMusic registration and audition procedures are available within the attached pdf. You will also receive details for this special project by way of email. We encourage you to share this information with your students.

I would like to acknowledge Nick Fanner and Tracy Oddan for their time and commitment to this
valuable project. Graeme Steen’s (HGRegistrar) expertise is greatly appreciated as he shares past
history and vision for the future. Our committee’s aim is to provide an outstanding music experience
that will enhance and support your program.


Thank-you for your continued support of these musical endeavours. Keep in mind that your
feedback, questions, concerns, and ideas are very important to us. I wish everyone the best of
success with upcoming festivals, tours and performances.


Sincerely,
Lenora Bells
