My congrats to Mark Norman and Brent Harvey for a fantastic SERTEC this past weekend. It was a great weekend, intense, VERY well run and organized. The playing was great by all the college ensembles (UGA, WCU, ECU, UNCG, UNCSA) and all the large ensembles were impressive, especially the James Madison Brass Band.

Some great recitals by the artists there...so sorry I did not hear everyone, but it is busy, busy time.

I got to play Brillante with the UNCSA Wind Ensemble and they did a very fine job and also am thankful to the great musicians that joined me on my recital for some great chamber music:

Mark Jenkins (US Marine Band) for a euphonium duet - The Windows Open to the Ocean by Censhu
Tom McCaslin (ECU) for Diversive Elements by David Gillingham - very exciting
Judith Saxton (trumpet at UNCSA) for Wilhelm's Duett Concertino.

Then I got to hear some great graduation auditions at GSU on Monday. Now I need to practice for my trip to Spain tomorrow!! Presenting the European Premiere of the Feinstein Euphonium Concerto with Wind Band...looking forward to it Javier!!
