Well my July the past few years has been crazy busy.  This year is busier than ever!!  My 6 weeks of travel with about 3 days at home (I actually counted that I would spend more hours on the plan then in my house of the next few weeks).  On the way to Allentown, PA for the Cosmopolitan Tuba Euphonium Workshop hosted by Mike Milnarik.  A great week (actually 10 days) of master classes and rehearsals.  I come up for 3 days to play in the quartet (one of my highlights each summer), share some new repertoire, and teach the students. 

As always it was well organized and had good attendance.  I was pleased by the students and great to play in the quartet with the great players and arrangers Mike Milnarik and Matt Brown.  As, Roland Froescher from Switzerland normally plays along with the group but could not make it this year, so we got Lauren Veronie from the US Army Field Band.  Great to work with a wonderful player and we had some serious laughes during our short time together.  It was great fun and got to meet a bunch of new students. 

Well I am headed home for a few hours, so until next time.
