And I hear you about the "wanting to be there" thing. It is rewarding indeed. I wish it could spill over more into everyday music ed, you know? Listen -- you have GOT to hear this Uninvited thing the 5 faculty members did. It is SICK! Some perspective: I tested out of both years of sight-singing and aural training in undergrad, and I *still* blew two measures of this bad boy yesterday. I couldn't find the flippin pitch!!! You have to hear this thing. Insane. I'll try to get it uploaded to YouTube as soon as Brad gets the DVD edited and sent out. Hey Boomy – how was the training gig?

I'm dying to hear recordings & see videos! Hope you have a great rest of the week! **smewch** BoomR asleep at the wheel...

My ensemble seem to like it as well. I also rewrote Flip, Flop & Fly for SATB...got some good scat solos going on it. Fun! You need to consider doing this camp next year.

Seems like they are. But, as with all good things, I'm glad the end is in sight. It's been a demanding week. But the concert tonight should be good, and the one tomorrow as well.
