<p>Dear MASTA members,</p>
<p>It was been my pleasure to serve as MASTA President for the past
two years. It has been great to see our events returning to being
in person. We had a great MMC conference with Kristen Pellegrino
as our headliner. Mary Kothman has done an amazing job bringing
the chamber music festival to WMU. The national conference in
Atlanta was a wonderful event and it was great to see so many of
our Michigan chapter members there. <br>
</p>
<p>Our summer string camps are coming up in June. Session 1
enrollment has been incredible! We still have plenty of openings
for Sessions 2 and 3, so please encourage your students to apply.

<br>
Session II dates are June 20 – 24. This 5-day-session is designed
for students in their 2nd or 3rd year of experience in 5th or 7th
grade. This is a more in-depth and longer experience than Session
I. This session is also a great first time camp experience. Nina
White and Joseph Alcocer will be the music directors.<br>
<br>
Session III dates are June 26 – July 2. Our week long session is
designed for the middle-school age student currently in grades
7-9. In addition to orchestra, students participate in a chamber
music ensemble, sectionals, music enrichment classes, and a guitar
class. Alan MacNair will be the music director.<br>
</p>
<p>As we transition to the new executive board, I want to thank
Linda Trotter who will be leaving the executive board. Linda has
served as Secretary for 10 years and before that as membership
chair and MSBOA Liaison. I also want to thank Dan Scott for his
six years of service. Dan will be stepping down as past-president,
but will remain on the board as our MMC Liaison. Thank you Dan and
Linda!!!</p>
<p>Please welcome to the board Stacey Bowen - Secretary, Alan
MacNair - member-at-large, and Amy Marr - president-elect. Jed
Fritzemeier is now our president, and I am transitioning into the
immediate past-president position. Burke Lokey is continuing as
our Treasurer. <br>
</p>
<p>Musically yours,</p>
<p>Michael<br>
