Steven,

 

Could you once again help me advertise this event to our area band directors? It is geared primarily to middle school and high school music students in band and choir, but all are welcome. It will be recorded by Basin PBS and will be broadcast later this spring.

 

12 professional musicians from Los Angeles are coming to the Wagner Noel PAC to present a free concert. These artists are Grammy award-winning, touring artists, and have done recording work for major films. They are truly world-class musicians!

 

Seats are limited, so each school must RSVP to reserve their tickets. I have attached a PDF and image file to this email.

 

Thank you for your support, and we would LOVE to see some Lee high school band students at this event!

Odessa College free virtual workshop

Colleagues,

Please read the message below and view the attachment from Eric Baker about a great opportunity to help your band members improve their auditions.

"I was hoping you could help me spread the word to all our high school region music educators about a free virtual workshop Odessa College is hosting to help students improve their auditions. It applies to live auditions, and we will also cover how to submit a high-quality video recording."

Thank you,
