Fine Art Directors and Directors:
As we continue to move through the summer, our office continues to secure facilities and arrange dates for all of our competitions. This year has proven different than most years as a result of the solar eclipse which will be most visible in Waco on April 8. The greater Waco area is fully embracing this opportunity to host out of town visitors and create celebrations that encompass the weekend and week. While the eclipse is good for Waco, it has resulted in changes being necessary for our competitions. Please review the dates below and update your calendars with the changes. In addition, please make sure to bookmark the Calendar page on the TAPPS website to stay up to date on any additional changes.
