The Year in Review

It has been about a year since I started this blog...and it seems like it has been almost that long since my last post. Sorry about that, busy times! I think that tomorrow will bring an update that will explain the delay in updates here on the blog.

School is over for the semester. It was a great year at UCA. We had So Percussion in to perform Reich's Drumming with the percussion ensemble. John Beck, John Parks, Nathaniel Bartlett and Mark Ford also were on campus for concerts, clinics and masterclasses. I saw some great concerts this year at UCA, including James Brown. He was amazing and I'm so glad I had the chance to see him.

I had two grad students graduate this year. Both got excellent assistantships and will be part of two of the best percussion programs in the country. One is heading to the University of Oklahoma and the other is off to Florida State University. Two new grads and a lot of great transfer students and freshman will be coming in to UCA next fall. It's shaping up to be a great year.

Look for a big update soon (with pics).
