So, we've had 4 weeks of classes so far, and things are going great. The new students are really stepping up, and all the returning students keep improving. The biggest headache remains, as always, how to keep equipment safe, secure, and organized. If I can figure out the secret, I will be a much more relaxed person!
The past two weeks have seen a couple of big things for the Fambrough camp. First, my recording project was approved last week, meaning I'll be recording my own compositions for an "official" release through next spring/summer. The "CD" will be released through iTunes and Amazon at first, with the next step being to produce the physical product for recruiting purposes. The plan is also to finish writing a few new pieces (several projects that need completion) for both my recital in the spring and this project.
Second, I just received word this week that I was chosen to be the new Marching Percussion Editor for Percussive Notes. I only applied at first because I knew I would be second guessing myself if I didn't even try, but I am excited that I got the position. I had actually talked myself into thinking I didn't get it, since I hadn't heard anything; to say I was surprised when I got the email Tuesday night would be an understatement!
The next item on the agenda is the trip to Lee University in October to perform as a guest artist with their percussion ensemble and give a clinic - first time adventure!
