Directors,

The latest revision - dated October 2018 - of the Tennessee All-State Handbook is available for your review.

The formatting has been updated to maintain consistency within the different sections. Other revisions include updating the Instrumental quotas and supplemental instrumentalists policies as well as the clarification of some of the dates for choral auditions/screenings.

Also, regional associations should note that all payments and fees for All-State are due to the TMEA Executive Director by March 15. Regional associations should set their own deadline to collect fees well in advance of the March 15 deadline to ensure All-State liaisons have adequate time to submit payments on time.
