Music for All National Festival

This past week, I was honored serve as an evaluator for the 2015 Music for All National Festival and the Sandy Feldstein National Percussion Festival.  We ( Jim Campbell, Nathan Daughtrey and Thad Anderson)  listened and offered comments to 11 HS and MS ensembles, and I was honored to clinic three groups- Lassiter, Park City and Pfugerville HS
Thanks to Yamaha, Vic Firth, ZIldjian and Remo for their support and to William Galvin, Festival Director for running such a well organized program.
