New: Guidance for Music and Performances
RIDE and RIDOH have updated their guidelines regarding music and performances in our schools as of February 15, 2021.
Students across Rhode Island will now have more access to music education and music ensembles! We appreciate RIDE and RIDOH incorporating RIMEA's feedback and suggestions into the development of their guidance.
All-State Festival 2021
Due to the COVID pandemic this year, the All-State Festival itself will be in a much different format. RIMEA is planning a high-quality virtual ensemble experience for all accepted students, at NO COST to families.
RIMEA's All-State managers have been in contact (via email) with sponsors/students/parents with music and other details regarding the VIRTUAL performance.
