We are excited to announce that CMEA will host the third-annual Elementary Classroom Music Showcase at CASMEC 2027 on January 14, 2027. The intent of this Showcase is to feature elementary ensembles on the performance main stage and will feature groups representing the variety of music making ensembles and classes existing in UTK-Grade 5/6 settings. Ensembles may include classroom/general music, guitar, percussion, ukulele, Orff, etc.. Please note, this Elementary Showcase is separate from the performance opportunities that currently exist throughout the convention site, and a video and application is required. You must be an active CMEA member to apply.
