My Blue Stars Music Education Tour a Success!
My Blue Stars Drum and Bugle Corps-sponsored ( #bluestarsdbc ) tour has concluded as a rousing success. After driving around 2,500 miles, I was honored to guest lecture, clinic, conduct, rehearse, observe, and generally have a blast with concert and marching ensembles, music education majors, and both prospective and returning Blue Stars at:
- Minnesota State University (Mankato, MN)
- Eden Prairie High School (MN)
- University of Minnesota-Duluth
- Milford High School (Milford, Ohio)
- Miami University of Ohio (Oxford, Ohio)
- Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN)
- Marian University (Indianapolis, IN)
- Youngstown State University (Youngstown, OH)
- University of Kentucky (Lexington, KY)
The tour concluded with a three-day recruiting and information booth for the Blue Stars at the Bands of America Grand National Championships, held in Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, This journey has brought me into contact with so many great friends, colleagues, industry representatives, and performers. Thank you to the Blue Stars for making this possible, as they are the drum and bugle corps who are seriously partnering with school music educators throughout the country. #FCO
