Nine members of the UCM Wind & Percussion faculty welcomed 79 high-school students to the campus on November 21 for the 19th Annual Honor Wind Symposium.  The event allows students to rehearse and perform ensemble music written for their specific instruments.   Students are invited to attend the event by each faculty member.   Participating ensembles were conducted by Frank Fenley (flutes), James Gai (clarinets), Sheri Mattson (double reeds), David Aaberg (jazz combo), Gary Moege (horn), Alan Wenger (trumpet), David Stagg (trombone), and Jon Gregory (tubas and euphoniums).

Two concerts were the final event of the day.  The woodwind ensembles and the jazz combo presented their program in the Union, while the brass ensembles performed in Hart Recital Hall.   Each concert was attended by approximately 70 parents and friends.   An additional feature of the day was a mid-morning session for parents hosted by Scott Lubaroff, UCM’s Director of Bands.   Dr. Lubaroff met with approximately 45 parents to give them information on scholarships, admissions procedures, and financial aid.
