The TSA Music Department was well-represented at the Ohio Music Education Association Professional Conference Jan. 15-17 in Columbus. The event draws a state-wide attendance of music educators, professionals, collegiate faculty and students, and music industry leaders. The Percussion Studio, led by Robert Desmond, and the Studio Orchestra, led by Jay Welenc and Diana Anderson, were selected by audition for feature performances at the conference. Both studios had outstanding performances, drawing high praise from all segments of the educational spectrum.
In addition, four TSA students were named to All-State ensembles: Katelyn Kaiser and Margaret Clark performed with the All-State Band, under the baton of noted composer James Barnes; Katelyn was selected to play piccolo solo parts, and both sat near the top of the section. Adam Nedrow and Nelson Overton were the percussion section for the All-State Jazz Ensemble; Nelson performed nearly all of the drum set parts, and Adam was a featured vibraphone soloist. This year marked the fourth performance in four years for TSA ensembles at this event.
