Catching Up...

So, I've neglected this for a bit it seems. Sorry. A new daughter will do that to these kinds of projects! Grace Anne Fambrough was born on March 11 and is just beautiful. A full house for sure, but so worth it!

Over the Spring semester, highlights were taking the Steel Band to play at AMEA (great response and reception, not to mention great performance and guest performer Tony McCutchen) and getting the chance to conduct "Asphalt Cocktail" on the February Wind Symphony concert. We also started two new events in the percussion area - the spring Percussion Ensemble Festival (with guest artist John W. Parks), where we had a great performance of Mark Ford's "The Surface of Life," and the UAB Drumline Camp. Not the turnout I wanted for either, but a really good first start.

Yesterday I found out I will be giving a clinic session at AMEA (on "Quality of Sound"), and so far (!) the drumline is looking good. Finished writing the sketch of the drum solo on Friday, so all I need is the keyboard parts and the rest of the show music....yeah, that's all. Drum camp in 2 weeks. Wow.

Fambrough out...
