Dear EMTA Teachers,

Thank You to participating teachers for representing EMTA with their students’ performances in the Time Era 2024! Our adjudicator Dr. Lark Powers was very impressed with the quality of well-prepared performances and the variety of the repertoire.

I would like to extend a very special Thank You to the teachers who helped during the day and dedicated their time on Saturday to help run the festival: Marie, Angela, Tamara, Laurie, Valerie. Could not have done it without you!

A very special Thank You goes to Allan Park for organizing the schedule, virtual playlist and results.
Always the most grateful Thank You to Dawn for creating the registration page and form, combining everything into an excel sheet.

It does take a village to run a festival. I could not be happier that my village is EMTA!

While there were many memorable performances during the day and in the virtual playlist, our adjudicator Dr. Lark Powers recognized the following students.

Congratulations to all!
With gratitude,
Dr, Yelena Balabanova
