CONVENTION NEWS & NOTES

Dr. Richard Fountain, NCTM, President-Elect

I know we are all excited for the 5 Browns’ concert tonight! TMTA is so thrilled that they have agreed to serve as our convention guest artists this year. We are pleased to announce that the Browns will be signing CDs in the lobby outside the Reunion ballroom after their concert! The CDs will be $15, cash or check ONLY (no cards!). You don’t want to miss this incredible opportunity to hear AND chat with one of the world’s finest piano ensembles!!

Remember to take pictures of any and all convention events and send them to #TMTA2022, @TexasMTA, or just snap them with the Guidebook app, and we will automatically see them!
