Clinics and Old friends

Just finished a great few days in Austin Texas.  Had the chance to spend some time with the terrific students at Cele Middle School and their FANTASTIC teacher, Cathy Humphrey! I actually was asked to sign autographs....which kinda blew my mind.  Great kids
Next up, after a visit with Mason Alumni Stephen Howard  -who now runs the band program at Anne Richards School,  was a few hours of lessons and a clinic session at the University of Texas, Austin. Grateful to Tom Burritt and the outstanding students at UT.  Awesome time. 

Cathy and her husband Chris were kind enough to open their home tome for a couple of days, and Austin has some great restaurants.  All in All, a fast, and fun 3 days in Austin! Already planning my next visit.  up next, NYU!  Can't wait to get back to New York. 
Below are some pics from Cele MS - UT pics are coming soon!  Thanks to Yamaha, Zildjian, Vic Firth and Remo for making events like this possible
