This past Saturday, Wind Ensemble had their first ever Conservatory Day to prepare for the OMEA Large Group Adjudicated Event. This event gave students the opportunity for more in-depth, focused study on their instrument and our 3 musical selections. Thank you to our Band Boosters for providing this opportunity and to the university faculty/professional musicians that served as our guest clinicians. We are looking forward to sharing our hard work with you at Tuesday’s concert!
