Glenn R. Cameron, D2:

Most of the feedback that I've gotten is that they like the system as is... we don't have the county and honors ensembles that other districts have. For most of our kids, the PMEA system is the only thing they particpate in during the school year. We do have regional orchestras in Erie but not choirs and bands. Crawford County has the only official county band. IU9 (eastern D2) has some other events but not IU5 (western D2). Most of the feedback that I've gotten has been that we are not interested in dropping or altering the format. I offered numerous ideas at each of the district festivals, as food for thought, and after many discussions the negatives always seemed to outweigh the positives.
