Busy Times

It is going to be a busy, exhausting week. This is one of those times when everything seems to "hit" at once. I just returned from an impressive Concert Wind Ensemble concert at MSU-Mankato. They did a really excellent job. It is always fun to hear pieces that you have performed or directed done by someone else - way less stress that way! Among the pieces performed were Festive Overture and O Magnum Mysterium, both pieces I have directed with MCB. I could almost see the director's score in my mind...Monday will be the Fall Choral Concert / Mankato Symphony rehearsal and Tuesday another concert at MSU-Mankato. Friday I will be at MSU with students for honor band and Sunday afternoon I will attend the Mankato Area Youth Symphony Orchestra concert and proceed to Gustavus for the start of the honor band festival there. I almost forgot - the quarter is done this week as well!

A reminder to all band students - all first quarter work (lessons, logs, journals, etc.) must be completed and turned in by 4:00 on Thursday! In the words of a popular American (and also the secret phrase) "Git-R-Done!"
