The purpose of this blog was to keep students, their families, and my friends aware of what is going on in my professional life. As I begin my retirement, the purpose will change.
I grew up in a wonderful town, Harvey, Illinois and had wonderful music teachers; I attended a number of universities, but DePauw and Loyola had the most impact on me. I enjoy finding old friends from New Orleans now, especially after H. Katrina.
All three McEachern orchestras have been working very hard preparing their festival selections and their sight reading skills. I was grateful for Ms. Cicco to come over and evaluate our progress while I was off judging the wonderful District 5 Festival in Fulton County. Many thanks go out for the band students for helping us create a Symphony Orchestra for the event. We will host all the county high school orchestras this year and hope they have a good time visiting us!
