Dear Colleague,

Welcome Back! It brings me great pleasure to welcome you to the newest edition of Powertalk. We have spent the summer refining our programs and developing some exciting new options.

Our brightest star for 2006 is the new Manhattan Festivals of Music. For the first time ever we will offer 3 festivals that take place at spectacular performance venues in Manhattan. This amazing opportunity will culminate with a Gala Awards Ceremony at the new Times Square Hard Rock Café. This is sure to be a memorable trip to the Big Apple for you and your students. For information call us at 1-800-323-0974 or visit www.festivalsofmusic.com. Space is limited at this event, so call today!

Music In The Parks continues to add new festival locations and dates to make it simple to find a festival that fits any schedule and budget. Visit www.musicintheparks.com for a full schedule of events.

EPN Travel has expanded into the Dance field. With a new partnership with New York Offstage, dance and music theater students can now participate in some amazing workshops and master classes with top Broadway performers. Be sure to check out and share the information on this unique opportunity.

I hope you enjoy the materials in this newsletter. Our valued adjudicators are some of the most respected names in music education, and love to share their insight with you.

Have a wonderful year and I hope to see many of you in the coming months.

Jim Wells
President
