'tis the season for retreatin'

Thanks again to my old colleagues Gary St John, Doree Jarboe, and Tim Russell (who came all the way from Redmond) for making the trip to Hood River to work with our singers today.  As I shared with the students, these three teachers all had excellent, inspiring programs and I learned a lot from listening to their groups and watching them direct.

Next weekend, the HRMS 8th grade band, and our 9th graders (and any interested sophomores or others) will be working with Chuck Bolton, former band director at Barlow HS, and Oregon's "Mr. Holland."  Chuck is another incredible director who was an inspiring influence.

What a great start to the year! Thanks to everyone for coming.
