This petition recognizes that the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association's , herein referred to as PMEA, Region V Chorus festival was cancelled for Thursday, February 13 through Saturday, February 15. Due to this cancellation, PMEA took away the right of the participants to audition for the All-State Chorus Festival at the Hershey Convention Center from Wednesday, March 26 through Saturday, March 29. This petition and its signers demand that they are given their right to audition for the All-State Festival. PMEA made the decision to take the top three individuals from both Districts 7 and 10 in each voice part to the All-State Festival. This decision refuses to recognize the work, effort, and emotional investment that all of the participants put in. We as the signers demand to be given their opportunity to audition and be given all of the opportunities promised as given by PMEA.
