#1 - IASAS Music CC 2025 @ ISB (November 29, 2024)

Dear IASAS Activities Directors and 2020 IASAS CC Music Teams,

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! This email serves as the first formal communication for the IASAS Music Cultural Convention 2025 at ISB, and will be used to introduce the ISB team leaders (see below), to establish email channels and protocols for each specific area going forward, and to connect you with the event hotel.

Per IASAS guidelines please make every effort to schedule flights so that your team can arrive at the ISB campus no later than 2:30pm (GMT+7), on Wednesday, March 5, 2025.

Rooms have been blocked from March 5th through the 9th on your behalf but you will still need to complete the reservation for your respective cohort. When doing so please write to reservations@bwpluswandagrand.com and reference booking number GA001127. Or contact Saifon (Fon) Pannara, Sales Manager, at saifon.pannara@bwpluswandagrand.com

Although still three months away, we are excited to host you and your students here March 5-9, 2025. To better serve you and your musical cohorts, please complete the name and contact information for your coaches HERE, and if you have your teams selected already, your delegate rosters HERE, by Friday, December 6, 2024.

Our website is currently under construction, but once up and running in late January through the week of the convention March, 2025, it will serve as the internal 'go to' place for AD's, coaches, and in some instances maybe even students, to find all current IASAS Music CC 2025 information. Again our promise to you is that all notices, deadlines, or tasks will first be emailed (through me or with me copied) with a link and reminder that, following each successive communication, all information will be updated and available on the website for future reference.

In general, please have your coaches error on the side of 'too much' information by copying all AD's on any emails between schools, even if the message seems trivial or specific to your area only. Then remind them to use these same guidelines when reaching out to job-alike coaches/coordinators at the other five schools. For instance, the band teams will need to be in direct communication about instrumentation for the honor band repertoire but IASAS requires these to go through each AD. My take away from past models is that we would create email groups by area, again including the AD's from each school. Make sense?

Questions or concerns? Please reach out.

Regards,

Anthony Giles
