A Texas State student will be traveling soon to speak at a nationally-renowned music festival. Erin Cantu has more in this Bobcat Update…

A Texas State student has a chance later this month to be a part of something with national prominence -- the C-M-J Music Marathon. C-M-J, short for C M J , is a four-day-long conference and music festival in New York City. K-T-S-W Music Director Allison Johnson will participate on a panel.
(Johnson… 12… "…asked to be on a panel")
Johnson attended C-M-J in 20-13 but had not applied to be part of it this year. That's changed now -- since receiving the invitation.
C-M-J is one of the largest and longest-running music festivals of its kind in the country. More than 100 speakers will participate in the panel sessions. Johnson says working at K-T-S-W has been very beneficial to her.
(Johnson.. 8.. "this is where I feel like I'm in the zone")
K-T-S-W Station Manager Melissa Bond says Johnson will be a good representative for the station at the festival.
(Bond… 11… "that many things")
As music director of the station, part of Johnson's job is to review the many C-Ds the station receives each week and to help keep the station's music library organized. For Bobcat Update, I'm Erin Cantu.
