Convention Success!



The trip to the Association of Concert Bands Convention was successful. I took many notes, met many people, and made many new friends. I am one step closer to bringing the convention to Houston, and it feels good. I definitely needed this trip. It refreshed my spirit, and I was able to get some band work done at the same time. I am already making plans to go to the convention in Pensacola in 2007.

Band Convention

Sometimes work and pleasure need to intermingle. Sometimes it helps clear the mind and to get one's priorities straight. I think that is what I am needing right now. Tomorrow I will be flying to Pennsylvania to represent the Lone Star Symphonic Band at the Association of Concert Bands Convention. I'll be mingling with other community band members / officers. I'll be working at bringing the Convention to Houston, but it will also be a good way to get away from every day life. I definitely need a vacation!!
