Hey Everybody-

I know that a few of us had a hard weekend of auditions, some of which paid off (Congrats to Tim, Mason and Emily!), and at least one that led to immediate email apology (un-needed, but very funny).

A reminder that SYmphonic Camp involves every wind and percussion member of the entire group.  We will spend 4 blocks on Friday and Saturday working with world class clinicians on concert music, and it will be a great experience for all.  The event caps off with a preview performance of the Wando Festival Jazz Band at 5:00 in the PAC.  We will talk more about it, but just know that we will all be involved.
