Coming Up for Air
The last couple of weeks have been tremendously busy with preparation for Maxville, and also the annual SOUND ADVICE summer school, which took place last week. We had a great group of instructors and students working and playing hard at the University of Regina, which was a fantastic location and environment for the school. Excellent accommodations, good food, great teaching facilities, all on a modern and beautiful university campus. It was great to see and hear the progress students have made in a year, and also to meet new students. As well, local pipe bands [Fraser, Wa Wa Shrine] took up the offer to have a band workshop at the school, so it was great to involve some more local faces in the school.

Thanks to the CRPB and Conservatory band members and parents, who once again were the stiff underside to the school, holding it up with their volunteer work taking tickets, getting water, driving, airport runs and a hundred other details. Couldn't have done it without you.
