I went before the Houston Arts Alliance this morning to defend the Band's proposal to have HAA fund a portion of a concert next season. The last two times I went before the panel to defend our proposal, it ended in disaster. I always felt like I was going before the "firing squad." Not today. The meeting went very well in my opinion, and I actually feel good about what was said during the meeting. I walked out optimistic instead of upset.
Two years ago, we were only 17 points from getting the grant. Last year, it was closer to 30 or 40 points away from getting it. I think this year we have the best chance of getting the grant. I hope we get it...it would be a shot in the arm for us.
