- Dea rRuss, Thanks for the welcome. What a great site. Who do I tell about errors? (Snakes is published by Ludwig Music, not Plankton Press.)
Cheers Tom Duffy

Richard Powell said… - Yes, I know of Maurice's Sauce and have used it on occassion. If you want real BBQ though you should find one of the local businesses. You know it isn't real BBQ unless the parking lot is unpaved and they only open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Also would you consider adding the National Band Association to the professional links. Richard

- Hey Russ,
Sorry it's been a while. Yeah the other Jesse is me, I just had no idea how to delete that profile. The main one for me is with the suffix II after my name.
Anywho, how are things going? what are you working on for the end of the year?

Eric Berger said… - Russ,
Feel free to add Incantation and Ritual to my top 10 list with a 10 for student popularity. Another piece that is a favorite is A Prehistoric Suite - Jennings. Really enjoy that third movement. It is also a 10 for popularity. We even put together a video to accompany our performance.
Take care.

National/State Coordination of Guest artists for Middle School Band Programs!
This blog will probably end up as a forum, however let's start by discussing the basic notion of bringing in a guest artist to perform (not conduct or clinic, that's different and it's already in the forums) with your middle school band. In the past, guest artists with middle school bands could be cost prohibitive because of transportation, now through this forum we should be able to coordinate a bit.
Let's say I wanted to have a guest artist who lived in Georgia, come perform with my… Continue

Using MSBandDirector.com as your browser's default homepage at school.
Thank-you so much for you individual feedback regarding the differences between what you see at home on MSBandDirector.com and what you see at school on MSBandDirector.com. The reasons are varied and many, and it has to do with everything from your machine, your software version, your operating system and especially your servers and the guys prohibiting things from getting to teachers on the front lines.
