First, in case you didn't get my previous note, Midwest Sheet Music is hosting a New Band Music reading session on August 6 from 1 to 4 pm. There is no charge for this session, and all band directors are welcome to attend. Bring an instrument, bring a friend, bring some of your students, and spend a few hours reading through new band literature from grades 1-4. Afterwards join us for some happy hour drinks at a nearby bar yet to be determined.
Due to unusual circumstances though we had to change the venue for the upcoming Band Reading Session. The time and place are unchanged, but it will now be held at MICDS in Ladue. Details are below. Big thank you to Scott Shaw at MICDS for helping to arrange this change. See you there on the 6th!

If you're interested in attending,
drop me an email and indicate your preference of instrument (or no instrument) so we can make sure we have a proper balance. We have plenty of percussion instruments on hand, so we particularly encourage any percussionists to swing by. Meanwhile, spread the word and encourage your colleagues to come along. Follow us on
Facebook,
Twitter and
Instagram for updates on this and other summer reading sessions, and I hope to see many of you there soon!
