Hello Everyone,
I wish to send my most heartfelt thank you to
all of our bands...please share this with your band. The 2015 festival
was a huge success and couldn't have been so without your sacrifice and
dedication to making it great! The quality
of music, fantastic soloists and wonderful directing was the best ever. I
have been a part of the festival in one way or another for several
years now. I am very proud to have been festival chairman this year. All
of our band contacts and directors were great
to work with and it was really nice finally put a face with some of
names.
I did not have any illusions of myself taking
over and not having any problems at all. I have a list of things that I
would like to see the committee and myself improve upon for future
festivals. I know there were some issues to be
sorted out...I will deal with that in a later email...after I meet with
my committee.
I really just want this email to be about the
music and musicians. I can't imagine a better day of wonderful music and
we really can't beat the location.
From the bottom of my heart...THANK YOU!
Timothy D. Powhida
