All concerts will be at the Hilton Riverside New Orleans. The public is encouraged to attend and celebrate the amazing talents of these students. The schedule will be posted as soon as it is available.
LMEA can take donations toward students’ registration or dinner fees. You can cover all or any portion of these fees. We cannot apply donations toward hotel expenses, breakfast, or lunch. You can find the donation form at https://lmeamusic.org/all-state-donations/.
Additional information is available on the individual ensemble pages.
Yes. All donations must be received by the students’ registration deadline. Registration for all High School ensembles closes on Friday, November 7, 2025 at midnight. Registration for all Middle School ensembles closes on Wednesday, December 10, 2025 at midnight.
LMEA will notify the parent/guardian and issue a refund for any overpayment in whatever format the payment was received. If it was paid with a credit or debit card, a refund will be issued to that card. If it was paid by school check, a refund check will be issued to the school.
If you are donating to a specific student or school, you can also donate to them directly rather than using LMEA’s online donation portal.
LMEA can take donations in two ways: 1. To donate by credit or debit card, fill out the online form and use LMEA’s online donation portal. https://lmeamusic.org/all-state-donations/ 2. To donate by school check, fill out the online form and mail a copy of your receipt with your check to Jessica Fain-Blanchard, LMEA President-Elect, 23069 Arcwood Dr., Denham Springs, LA 70726. Be sure to allow enough time to receive the donation by the deadline. 3. Personal checks cannot be accepted.
1. Students’ registration deadline is a “hard deadline”. 2. If a student’s registration is not received by the deadline, LMEA may remove the student from an ensemble and offer it to the next person in line. 3. If a student completed their registration by the deadline and anticipated a specific donation amount, but the donation was not received by LMEA, the student’s parent/guardian and their director will be notified by email of the amount that is still owed. High school students will be given until November 7, 2025 to submit the balance due. Middle school students will be given until December 10, 2025 to submit the balance due. Instructions on payment will be included in the email. 4. If the student’s “balance due” is not received by that date, LMEA may remove them from an ensemble and offer it to the next person in line.
Yes, you can donate any amount to a specific student using one of two options: 1. The best option is to donate directly to the student’s parent/guardian or school, allowing the student to pay the full amount when completing the student registration form. 2. Another option is to donate through the LMEA donation portal. Choose the option “Individual Student” and enter the student’s name, school (include city), and ensemble or division.
Ex: Sally White, ABC High School, City of Anytown, Band
Yes. Choose the option “Multiple Students” and enter each student’s name, school (include city), and ensemble or division (band, choir, strings, etc.). Donations received will be divided evenly between all students listed.
Ex: Sally White, Billy Brown, and Kelly Green, ABC High School, City of Anytown, Choir
