Studio. A "reminder" that the Chamber Wind concert is tonight in Staples. I did not make this concert a requirement because I did not know that the Faculty Chamber Brass was going to play in it. We will be performing the same music that we played in January down at the Michigan Music Conference in Grand Rapids. The faculty brass are sitting in the principal chairs with the other seats filled by students. Unfortunately there was only one tuba part and no euphs, so I am holding up that end on my own. Though not required, I would HIGHLY SUGGEST that you find the time to come hear the concert. The brass will be opening the concert with "Commemorative Fanfare" by John Cheetham and "Symphony for Brass and Timpani" by Herbert Haufrecht. The concert begins at the normal 8:00 pm time. Hopefully I will see all of you there. Dr. Cox

Hello all. Today, Monday, 19th March 2012, I will not be in to teach. I have to stay home with Liam for most of the day. I will be in for my 11:00 am area meeting (scholarship meeting), and then again at 4:00 for the Chamber Winds dress rehearsal. If you need me, try and catch me either before or after the meeting and rehearsal. I will make these lessons up, hopefully, next week. Tuesday will be a normal day. As to Wednesday, I will also not be in. I have a meeting in Lansing for the Michigan Humanities Council Touring Book (I have been an adjudicator for this group for 15 years and have to meet every three years to create the Touring Book) starting at 8:00 am and lasting until at least 5:00 pm. These lessons will also be made up in the near future. If you need something, please give me a call at home today. On Wednesday, I will not be reachable during the entire day. Studio still continue as usual. Thank you for your patience. Dr.Cox
