BCM in Duluth (pt.1)

Up at 5:30 AM and off to the airport. Flight delayed. Finally arrive in Minneappolis, and remember my last visit to this airport (a cancelled flight and an all-night stay in a chair at the gate). Meet up with Jonathan. Flight delayed. Finally arrive in Duluth -- meet up with Steve and Mark Whitlock. Quick stop at the hotel (NICE) and then head to University of Minnesota at Duluth to meet the ensembles and start rehearsals... tonight we rehearsed with the UMD Wind Ensemble and the Twin Ports Wind Ensemble. Both groups have been very well prepared, and I think these performances are going to go very, very well.

Hanging with the legendary Alex from Duluth!

More musicians from the UMD Wind Ensemble.

High point of the day: the 85 year-old second clarinetist, pinching my bum during rehearsal... gee, thanks Ruthie!

Ha! Nice... i do want to thank you for stopping by and hanging out. It was truly a great experience meeting you. Although a very hectic weekend, co-managing percussion equpiment and moving gear all around campus, definitely a rockin' time. Thanks again!
