Recognition of the 2013 Florida All-State Elementary Chorus (Elementary Education – Curriculum and Instruction Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Florida Music Educators Association (FMEA) Elementary All-State Chorus is a unique music education opportunity for Florida students. Two hundred and twenty-two students in fourth and fifth grades across the state of Florida were selected to perform in the 2013 Elementary All-State Chorus at the FMEA's Clinic-Conference. Music teachers submitted student auditions that were digitally recorded and then rated by specific criteria.  Students rehearsed with their music teachers and on their own and then joined together with students from around the state for intense rehearsals and a final concert on January 11th at the Tampa Convention Center.

We are proud to recognize 14 Hillsborough County elementary students who were selected to perform in this year’s All-State Elementary Chorus.
