I had a wonderful experience with the District Honor Band in Joplin MO, January 11-12. In addition to the Vaughan Williams and Holst, we played my "Lullaby for Evangelina," "Here Be Dragons," and premiered "Journey of the Spirit." Great Band, great directors, great concert! Grateful!

I invite all Missouri band, orchestra and choir directors to my clinic at MMEA on Saturday, January 26th at 9:45am. "The Spark: Keys to a Long and Successful Career" is the title of the presentation, and I hope you will be there!
