A day in the life...

Someone asked me what is it that I do all day, since I never seem to have the time to do anything outside of a pretty tight schedule. I've started to ponder this even more because of how exhausted I seem to be at the end of each day. So, I thought I'd record what I did yesterday, Thursday, May 21, 2015. Here we go.

Austin Soundwaves in Houston!

I know it's not the most important thing in the world, but I was so incredibly proud of how well my students (both band and orchestra) did at the Space City Music Director's Choice competition in Houston.

Mostly I was proud of how well they handled themselves and the fine representation of Austin Soundwaves in front of people they've never met in a venue they've never before performed.

KUDOS!
