Frank, I'm aware of a bookmark in your illustrious career. I would like to thank and congratulate you for what you've done in Kansas City, and would also like to point out that if more executive directors were like Mr. Byrne, the industry of symphonic music in America would be exploding, rather than maintaining, and - further - would be virtually recession proof.

I realize that it is an epic and record-breaking annual event. I do have relatives there (retired highway construction contractors) who designed/built (among other things) Highway 10 between KC and Lawrence. I just don't think that I could quite be back in Memphis and ready to rehearse by 9 A.M. on Saturday.
Since it will coincide with Pearl Harbor Day (Dec. 7) and will be the 77th anniversary of "a date that will live in infamy", I wonder if one of your hundreds of participants might write a short tuba/euphonium arrangement of one of the main themes from the Rodgers/Bennett "Victory At Sea" to play ?
Played in TC KC last year. Was very impressed with the organization and level of participation. Merry TubaChristmas !

Please make plans to join us for Kansas City's biggest and best TubaChristmas ever. In addition to the usual carols, we will have the WORLD PREMIERE of a new original chorale for tuba/euph ensemble composed by James Barnes. Jim will conduct the world premiere with the group and it will be certain to make the event even more special.
