Comment from Timothy D. Powhida, OWMS Band Director, regarding 2015 Lake George Community Band Festival


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
OWMS Band Director
