Regional Conferences

I just want to put in a plug for the Tuba/Euph community to support the regional conferences which will take place in 2005. Since many of us had to miss ITEC in Hungary this summer, these events will offer a great opportunity for us to get together and hear some great music, catch up on the latest equipment and have a couple of (root) beers with some old buddies.

I just visited Mike Forbes' MWRTC site http://ilstu.edu/~mwdoher/MWRTC and his conference promises to be great.

You can visit the SERTEC (or as my students are calling it ZERTEC. You may experience nausea and/or oily discharge. Litigation impending) site at http://www.arches.uga.edu/~dzerkel/sertec/index.html

I would invite all conference hosts to post web information for their events as soon as it is available.

Cheers,
DZ

The only one I'm likely to go to is the USABTEC. It's only a 2 hour (or less) drive for me, and it's always a great program. Then again tuba is a hobby for me.

If Texas is "lower Midwest"...where's "South?"

If they don't want the average person to attend, I don't need them.
The conference I'll be attending is almost entirely the result of a lot of hard work on the part of one "average person", not a directive handed down from ITEA. Maybe one of the many tuba players in your city should take the initiative to organize one themselves."
