Isn't this the school that was going to host ITEC 2016?

Yes, that is the word on the streets. Kelly Thomas, ITEA conference co-ordinator, is currently at UT-Knoxville on a one and a half year visiting appointment. I would assume that regardless of the outcome of the search, he and UT-Knoxville would still host ITEC2016. A similar thing happened in the clarinet world this past year. LSU hosted the International Clarinet Association Festival even though the host teacher had left two years prior. While being a bit odd, it worked out and was a pretty amazing conference. Just my $0.02 on that subject. Regardless of the ITEC2016 implications, the job is still announced.

I posted this on facebook, but I would also like to share it here regarding the Northern Iowa tuba/euphonium position:

Since we got an email today at school saying that it is official, I can now say that I am very happy to welcome Jesse Orth to the University of Northern Iowa as the instructor for tuba and euphonium for the next 3 semesters beginning in January.

I was humbled, surprised and shocked at the incredibly impressive and large pool of candidates who applied for the position. There were many wonderful artist/teachers who could have done a great job. There are many amazing tuba and euphonium artists now available for positions such as this.

I am confident that Jesse will be an incredibly successful artist/teacher here at UNI and I am excited for the opportunity to work with him.

Congrats Jesse!!
