2005 Southeast Regional Tuba Euphonium Conference

[David Zerkel]

Saw the post asking about conferences next year and wanted to do a very preliminary plug for SERTEC 2005, which will take place at The University of Georgia in Athens, GA March 24-26.

This list represents guest artists who have confirmed. I'm still waiting to hear from several folks and vendors.

Adam Frey
James Jenkins
Kevin Stees

Guest Artists

Roundtable discussion on careers in military bands

There will be no on-site competitions, rather students will be invited to submit CDs to be blindly evaluated. Four tubists, four euphoniumists and 2 quartets will be awarded recital time at the conference. My plan is to make the tape submission as painless as possible... more details to follow.

To date, I have received confirmation from several vendors, but don't want to list them until I have heard from the others.

I will hope to get a website up by the beginning of September. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask on-board or off.

Hope to see you in March!!
