Well, it looks like it is finally official. On Tuesday evening, March 18, the Board of Directors of DC’s Different Drummers made me the new Marching Band Director. I don’t think it would be considered “speaking out of turn” to say that the DCDD Marching Band has lacked in attention the last few years from the current artistic leadership and I plan on turning that around. I’m pretty much going to run the operation similar to the way I ran the band in Kansas City, with a focus on “fun”.
I’m meeting with the President of the Board tomorrow morning to go over the contract and give him my ideas on how I would like to proceed. I’ve got a lot of work to do so that we can hit the ground running as soon as Capitol Pride Symphonic Band wraps up their season in late April.
By the way, if you are going to be in DC the weekend of April 25-26, go to www.dcdd.org and buy tickets to see CPSB in concert (including me in the French Horn section).

Carly Simon DID write that song about you, didn't she? And all this time, I thought it was about me. :)
Congrats on this latest incarnation of your blog!
I can't wait to go to the Far East with you! We are going to have an absolute blast. I hope we have the opportunity to eat some fried, chocolate covered bugs together in Thailand!
Woo Hoo! congrats!
Woo Hoo - Go Band! Are you SURE you don't like crop tops and short shorts??? Okay... I'll give that up. Looking forward to a great summer!
