Less than two months to go!

We’re now in the final stretch leading up to this year’s MEBCI Wind Conducting Symposium. We have plenty of room for additional Auditor registrations, but all 12 Conductor’s spots are filled. An email has gone out to all conductors asking them to confirm their repertoire. At this point, I am still looking for players on these instruments for both the Saturday and Sunday wind ensemble sessions. If you can recommend us to a friend or colleague, please do!

• Bassoons
• Bass clarinet
• Horns
• Trombones (including bass)
• Euphonium

And don’t forget the Friday, June 1 rehearsal clinic which Dr. Thompson will do with the Westchester Symphonic Winds. The repertoire for this clinic will be Whitacre – Lux Aurumque and Vinson – Echoes of the Hollow Square.

Northern Valley Music Ed Workshop

In addition to this symposium in June, I will be running a workshop geared toward (but not limited to) first through fifth year instrumental teachers on July 25-26 at Northern Valley-Old Tappan High School. This workshop, “Instrumental Music Education: Real-World Solutions  for Improving Your Ensembles,” is sponsored by the Northern Valley Staff Development Consortium.
