[MASTA] Board transition and Summer camps

[Michael Hopkins]

Dear MASTA members,

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.

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. Register at 
https://www.mastastringcamps.org/

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

Musically yours,

Michael
