Do you have ideas, concepts, or recent developments that you would like to share with the our community? SEJA and SEPA members now have the ability to submit articles or web links to be posted to the website for full public viewing or members only. All members are now considered website authors, and can submit content whenever convenient. "The main purpose of this site is to educate judges, instructors, and directors," says Founders' Committee Member Greg Shull. "This new tool is ideal for providing information to our community while crediting the author for their time and effort." To submit your article or Web Link, simply login to the website using your provided credentials. Then, click the "Submit an Article" or "Submit a Web Link" hyperlink that is located within the User Menu. When and if you submit an article, don't forget to include your name within the publication. This will not only provide educational materials for the website, but will credit you for your work. Also, the information on this website tends to apply APA (American Psychological Association) format written materials and references. Our website administrator will help format your submission, so please do not let this halt your efforts. Nonetheless, we must always cite the work of others and credit the intellectual properties to whom they belong. Don't fret. Citing information is now quick and easy. Simply visit, www.citationmachine.net to utilize their web-based tool. There, you can easily include information about shared works to ensure you your publication remains compliant. This is yet another tool provided to our community to ensure the longevity of the music-in-motion activity. We must all continue hold hands to ensure the existence of our beloved art. Otherwise, our efforts along with that of others before us, will dwindle away with time and be nothing more than a YouTube experience for upcoming generations. |

If you haven't noticed by now, music departments throughout the Southeast are cutting budgets to make ends meet. Music programs are though still doing everything within their power to provide the best possible experience and education to students. "Back in the day," many students who attended school were without air conditioning, dry erase boards, and even had to exit a building entirely to get to other classrooms. On the other hand, music departments flourished, instructors were a "dime-a-dozen," and high school music departments were forced to implement multiple marching bands to accommodate for the number of interested participants. Now, directors and instructors are diversifying their instructional methods extensively, and are at times, running entire programs and ensembles alone. Although the Southeastern Percussion Association (SEPA) can't directly provide funding for programs, instructors and directors can now find alternative solutions and assistance from fellow SEPA members. So, if you would like to take advantage of SEPA's educational resources and communication network...Let it Show! Sign-up for SEPA today. On the contrary, you may simply wish to join SEPA as a means of communicating with fellow percussionists about the latest innovations, concepts, or possibly rules and regulations for the upcoming season (the topics are and will be endless). If so, Let it Show! Join SEPA today to share your ideas, theories, techniques, and developments. Now is the time for everyone to hold hands and assist one another to ensure our music community remains intact and all students are allowed the opportunity of a percussive education. How to Join

Members can now communicate in real-time when logged in to sejudge.org. Joining other communications tools such as the personal messaging inbox and the judges forum, the SEJA Chat feature now allows members to communicate in a more timely manner.
SEJA Chat is not a new concept, as instant messaging chat systems have been around for over a decade. But just as other features on SEJA have allowed members to communicate more efficiently than before, we hope SEJA Chat will make it easier to connect instantly. |
