Dear Mr. De Stefano,

Thank you for submitting your application to perform at the 2011 OMEA/MENC North Central Division Professional Development Conference. This event will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio, January 27-29, 2011. Over 150 CDs were submitted representing outstanding groups from all areas and levels. Groups were selected through “blind” audition by each of our content sub-committees (band, choral, orchestra, and jazz). We can assure you that great care was taken to listen to each CD and to select groups that will represent not only quality, but also the great diversity of performing ensembles in our nation.

It is our pleasure to inform you that your ensemble, the McCracken Middle School Symphonic Band has been selected to appear at the 2011 OMEA/MENC North Central Division Professional Development Conference, “Music Knows No Boundaries.” Congratulations!

…

Thank you for your commitment to MENC/OMEA and CONGRATULATIONS!

Sincerely,
Mark A. Hensler
