Welcome
Welcome to the 2017 Mississippi Music Teachers Association
Collegiate Competitions! I hope you enjoy your visit to Jackson
today.
As you know, participation in competitions plays an important part in
the life of a developing musician. I hope your experience today will
inspire and inform you in many ways.
The Millsaps faculty, staff, and students graciously hosted this
competition and allowed MMTA to use their facilities. A special note
of appreciation is in order for Rachel Heard, our Millsaps liaison.
Also, Phyllis Lewis-Hale, VP for Collegiate and National
Competitions, coordinated this competition and is to be congratulated
for her work. In addition, Stephanie Holmes, VP for Public Relations,
created this program booklet. Many dedicated people worked
together to make this event possible. Thanks to one and all!
