Dear Members,
Welcome to another new year for Gulf Coast Music Association (GCMA)! As part of your membership, we offer so many educational and inspiring
events for you and your students to choose from:
GCMA was organized in 1974,
and is affiliated with the National and Texas Federations of Music Clubs. Our
high quality programs are focused to encourage teachers and their students to
uphold a high musical standard through education and organization.
We are looking forward to
your students participating in our festivals and scholarships. For students to qualify to participate in any
of these events a teacher must be a member in good standing i.e.: attendance at
a minimum of 3 meetings (we are accountable to the state and national
organizations for attendance) AND active participation in each of the events
your students perform in.
The first three meetings of
the year are very valuable information days:
- September-- Yearbook information (includes: calendar of events/festivals, all
registration forms, deadlines and fees, Autumn Artist Festival).
- October -- Autumn Artist (cancelled 2021 due to COVID), details of Jazz/Pop Festival
- November -- Gold Cup Guidelines/Rules follow up, and a Q & A period.
- Subsequent meetings cover upcoming festivals, and workshops designed to provide continuing education for the teacher.
As an added note, each of
these functions are run totally by our members, therefore, the success of them
depends on 100% participation of all teachers entering students in each of
these events.
We look forward to seeing you
at each of our meetings, and getting to know you.
Most Sincerely, Joy Timmons Sharon Stewart
