2006 Midwest Clinic Blogs
It looks like the Midwest Clinic has taken down last year’s blogs. I was looking forward to a new set of blogs this year, but unfortunately, none of the participating directors were interested.
Because I think it may continue to be a useful resource, we’ll continue to archive our 2006 blog here.

Winter Break
Congratulations to the McCracken Middle School Symphonic Band for their wonderful performance last night during the BandDirector.com webcast. Since Mr. De Stefano and Mr. Morrison will be attending the Midwest Clinic the rest of the week, there will be no lessons or rehearsals on Wed, Thurs, and Friday.
Have a great Winter Break, practice lots, and we’ll see you in two weeks!
