Soon to Arizona

Hello all.
I hope you are having a great start to your summer. Things have been incredibly busy here, with very little down time (solo performances, recording sessions, etc.). MJ and I will be leaving for Tucson on Tuesday. Our flight is at 7:30 am, so we will need to leave our house sometime between 3:00-3:30 am - UGH! Zach and Chelsea called me tonight, they are in New Mexico (staying the night). Their GPS said they have 150 miles to go tomorrow and they will be there.
The weather is going to be hot. So dress appropriately. Dr Swoboda is already out there and the temperature has been over 100 degrees. Speaking of her, she has already called me twice to ask me to bring stuff (mostly electronic items) that she forgot (and I own). So, if a consummate professional like her can forget stuff, PLEASE double-check to see that you have everything for the trip:
1. Music
2. Instrument (in PERFECT working order)
3. Mouthpiece (I would hate for you to have to buy a new one)
4. Everything else (see Jessica's emails)

So, as you can see, MIME, think this as you pack.

I am really looking forward to our concert on Saturday! See you out in the sunshine, cactus and red dirt!

Final rehearsal

Would everyone please bring their finals schedule to rehearsal today. We need to find one last ensemble rehearsal time during finals week. If we can, then we will not need to rehearse until we are out in Arizona for the conference.
Thanks,

Dr. Cox

Jury sigh-up sheets on out

For those who are performing a Freshmen or Sophomore jury (200 or 300), the sign-up sheets are on Dr. Lindahl's door. First come, first served. I hope to see all of your names on sheet by the end of the week.

Thanks,

Dr. Cox

Spring Studio Recital

Spring studio recital - this Sunday, 28 March 2010 at 4:00 pm at the 1st Presbyterian Church. The address for the church is 1250 Watson. This is about 6 blocks from the music building. If you do not know where it is, please ask or get a ride from someone who does know. This is a REQUIRED concert. I will be at the church around 3:00 (3:00 or a little later) if you want to come and play a few notes.

See you there -
Dr. Cox

Phil Smith Recital

Just a reminder, though not a required concert, it is HIGHLY advised that you attend the Phil Smith concert in Staples at 8:00 pm. It should be an amazing concert.

Thank you,

Dr. Cox

Not at the office this morning

Hello everyone. Hope you had a good weekend - soon spring break will be here. I will not be in today due to an emergency root canal that I am going to have this morning (no kidding). I am hoping that it will be done in time (and I feel good enough) to go over to the high school to WMU's brass quintet at 1:40. If you need anything, please shoot me an email. I will have my iPhone at the dentist office and will probably be sitting around a lot.
Thanks,

Dr. Cox

Studio class - 2.16.10

Hello everyone.
Studio class for tomorrow, 16 February 2010, bring MUSIC and PENCIL ONLY! We are in room 230. Do not bring any instruments. We are going to be listening to last semester's concert.

See you then,

Dr. Cox
