Dear Directors,

If you haven't gotten your invitation to the World's Biggest Fish Fry Parade--let me know! We have a distinguished panel of judges this year including former UTM & now Director Emeritus of UTC--Anthony J. D'Andrea. He and his wife Jenny are judging bands.

The Jaycees are giving cash prizes for 1st,2nd & 3rd places in each class, two divisions. Please help us make the 54th Fish Fry a success! I know many of you are former students of D's, so, bring your band to Paris April 27th. Parade starts 10am.

Thanks, R. Michael Holden (Mike) mholden2646@charter.net

Dear Colleagues,

The MTSU School of Music is hosting the MTSU Jazz Festival on Saturday, April 14, 2007. This annual event brings together outstanding jazz artists, jazz educators, students, and jazz lovers for a full day of performances and educational activities. We invite your school to participate in this non-competitive festival that will be highlighted by a clinic and concert by world renowned trumpeter Snooky Young.

School groups will be given 30 minutes for their performance followed by a “one-on-one” workshop by one of our visiting clinicians designed to help the students expand and improve their jazz skills. Each group will receive audio taped comments from two clinicians and a video tape of their performance. Our clinicians this year include Clay Jenkins of the Eastman School of Music, Don Aliquo & Jamey Simmons from MTSU and Tom Giampietro (Vanderbilt University & MTSU.) In addition to the 1:00 pm clinic by Snooky Young, Director of Jazz Studies Don Aliquo and Professor of Jazz Studies Jamey Simmons will conduct a "hands-on" workshop on Jazz Improvisation. We encourage all students to take advantage of this great opportunity.

The festival will begin at 9:00 am with performances by high school jazz ensembles running at thirty minute intervals throughout the day. The evening concert, featuring Snooky Young with the MTSU Jazz Ensemble I, is scheduled for 7:30 pm.

The registration fee for the festival is $150 per ensemble which includes tickets to the evening performance for all students in the group and the director. These tickets would otherwise cost $12.00 per person. If you are interested in participating in the MTSU Jazz Festival, please call (615) 904-8362 or e-mail daliquo@mtsu.edu by February 27, 2006 to reserve a space for your group. Also notice the registration form found at the jazz festival website - http://www.mtsu.edu/~music/jazzfest.html.
 

Please feel free to phone me if you have any further questions or visit the McLean School of Music web-site: http://www.mtsumusic.com. I look forward to seeing you all on April 14th.

Sincerely,

Jamey Simmons
