1st Week of 2013

Hello all and WELCOME BACK!
This will be the first of many announcements for the 2013-2014 year. I'd like to first welcome our new colleagues:

     Freshmen Euphonium: Josh Razminas and Zoey Johnson
     Freshmen Tuba: Ciarra Birman and Brett Bulka
     Graduate Tuba: Aurther Kimmons

- 2nd order of business. For the first time in 18+ years, we will not be having lessons the first week of school. Instead, I will be scheduling a TON of meetings with all of you, getting the semester and year organized. Here are a few things I need to get organized:
 - Seniors conducting T/E ensemble
 - CF auditions - who wants to audition, which seats are open, when do we have the auditions, etc.
 - New student meeting
 - Who has which CMU instrument
 - Who is signed up for incorrect lessons through the school (ex. 178A for a 2 credit tuba lesson. It should be 178B for those lessons).
 - etc.

As to who is playing which instrument, I appear to be missing a BBb Mirafone tuba. I have the case in the tuba room, but no instrument. Who is playing a 4valve BBb (not the 5 valve CC) MIRAFONE CMU tuba? To answer this, please send me a PRIVATE email, do NOT respond to this announcement.

We WILL have a studio party sometime in the next couple of weeks at my house. That is one of the questions I need to get answered at the meetings.

Here is how I the first couple of days are going to go:
 - Monday (8/26/13) - I will not be in the office (a commitment off campus for the day)
 - Tuesday (8/27/13) - Studio class WILL meet, but without the freshmen. Freshmen, you have a meeting in Chamichian Hall at that time (11:00 am) .
 - Wed-Fri - meetings, meetings, meetings.

Freshmen, please drop off a copy of your weekly schedule to me by Tuesday morning. I will use these to schedule your meetings. If I am not there, just pin it to the bulletin board next to my door.

If you need me, I will be home tonight AFTER the marching band show at the stadium. I will be there taking pictures for Dr. Batcheller (I'll probably get home sometime after 7:00 pm). If you need something, please give me a call. My phone number is: 989.828.6481.

I REALLY am looking forward to seeing everyone. I hope you got some rest over the summer. It is going to get busy, fast!

Dr. Cox
