Convention: Connected

After spending 3 days in meetings, workshops, recitals, and mingling sessions, I've come to realize what Mu Phi Epsilon is about.
I thought I understood the Music Friends and Harmony and took it as self explanatory.

There is so much more to it!


Did you know that there are
78 chapters?
531 new members from last spring?
1514 total members?

The theme of the convention has been Connected. There has been so much connecting and networking going on! I've met so many different people from all over the nation- collegiates and alums! But while I'm connecting with other chapters, how can you guys get the same benefit?
     Fan the official facebook page of the Fraternity and the Foundation's page.
     Register yourself as a member at http://muphiepsilon.org/ (great things are coming to this site!)
     Join the South Central Province facebook group to meet other Mu Phites in the state.
     Encourage your music friends at other schools to join their local chapter
    Find alum that might teach at your High School's district

I hope that the convention theme will continue through the following years.
Did you know that there are 15 active chapters of Mu Phi Epsilon in the state of Texas? Did you know that there are Mu Phi chapters at Our Lady of the Lake University and Texas State? Those are both so close! St. Mary's University is getting a charter this year! Also, the city of San Antonio has an Alumni Chapter & Dr. McNeil is the president! There are sooo many networking opportunities for us!

I'm envisioning a huuuuge Founders Day celebration on November 13th with all the nearby chapters. It's an event we'd all have separately, so why not have a joint ceremony/recital?

New Mu Phi friends from Michigan, UNT, TCU, Ohio, & Baylor!


In other news, I am ready to get back! I miss Texas, Mexican food, 100 degree weather, and all my Trinity friends that are there getting ready for the upcoming school year! It's going to be a great one!

PC 08

If you all managed to catch a glimpse of the slideshow back by the food, I hope you got to see some of the gems I found. I'm not going to lie, I creeped on all the seniors since the beginning of time (their Mu Phi time, that is). Here are some of the milestones for this group. (Just know that I creeped out of love <3) Enjoy!

Recital Friday

First we had Brent's Senior Organ Recital at 5:00 in the Marguerite B Parker Chapel (the 'cooler spelling' according to the organist)
Congrats Brent!


and then the Disney themed voice recital of Dr. McNeil's Studio at 7:30 in Ruth Taylor Recital Hall
Great Job to:
Rachel D, Laura, Rachel L, Jonathan, Heather, Andrew, Kelley, (alum Lizzy, & faculty advisor Dr. McNeil!)!!


Followed by studio dinner afterwards (I still consider myself part of the studio even though I took a year off [due to being abroad and then having a super busy semester dedicated to Spanish], but I will return in the fall) that consisted of mariachi bands, the spurs game, and lots of laughs!




Congratulations and Great Job to all the performers today!
