YouTube video by The University of Texas Bands Bernstein: Slava! A Political Overture

So I just got accepted to a SECOND conducting symposium happening in April. I won’t say where just yet but I’m itching to take a stab at Slava! by Bernstein.

Trivia tonight with the smartest woman I know, Michelle. That’s precisely why we clean up each and every time. These other trivia teams should just go home.

My principal is a die hard Bills fan. She denies it, but I’d bet the farm she’s part of the Bills Mafia and has done this.

New for 2025! #100daysofpractice. Tonight was bassoon for 20 minutes, last night was bassoon in addition to alto and tenor with Bach Shapes and the 1st Greg Fishman book, which celebrates 20 years this year. Consistency is the key this year.

Over the last year I’ve done a weird thing…lifting heavy things and putting them down. Here’s me lifting 295 lbs on #DeadliftFriday at Iron Legion in Westbrook.
