4 The Iowa Bandmaster The Iowa Bandmaster 5 President’s Message By Patrick Kearney

When I was eight years old I desparately wanted to ride my father’s bicycle. I wasn’t tall enough and he knew that. My balance wasn’t very good and he knew that. When I asked to ride his bike he told me he thought it was too big and that my balance wasn’t secure enough to ride it, but when I insisted he let me get on it and ride. Very quickly I fell off and broke my arm. My father gathered me up and took me to the hospital without making me feel like a fool. One of my father’s favorite songs is My Way. I remember being a young kid and listening to the Frank Sinatra version with him. There is a line in the song that goes, “Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention.” For a long time that lyric didn’t make any sense to me. But now, as I am (hopefully) the definition of middle-aged, that lyric really speaks to me. There was a day when I didn’t have many regrets, mostly because I didn’t want to admit that I made mistakes or I didn’t know or understand the mistakes I was making. I now can (all too clearly) recognize my mistakes. What I have come to discover is that my mistakes become my greatest learning moments and they can be for your students as well. If we try to project to our students that we don’t make mistakes, or if we jump on them when they make mistakes, we create a culture in which they don’t achieve their potential. In our pursuit of perfection it becomes easy to have a low tolerance for errors, and while perfection can be a beautiful thing, I think some of my best teaching moments have come when students feel enabled to try something that they don’t know they can do. Whether it is extending their range on their instrument, playing something technical that they don’t believe they can play, or improvising on a jazz tune, I can think of many moments when a student has failed multiple times only to end up being successful. That breakthrough is a thing of beauty. It can be a moment when expectations are forever changed for that student; suddenly the impossible becomes possible. So, how do we teach our students that it is OK to make mistakes? First of all we TELL them that it’s OK to make mistakes. They need to hear that. Our students want to please us and in most parts of their day they are coached to be risk averse. We should be teaching our students that the only time it is bad to make a mistake is when they don’t learn from it. The second way that we can teach our students that it is OK to make mistakes is for us to be vulnerable to admitting mistakes ourselves. While a strong teaching presence is important, I think that it is possible to have that presence, while being willing to admit when we are wrong or admitting what we don’t know. In my teaching career I have been fortunate to teach a number of students who were much better performers than I will ever be. My greatest successes with each of those students have been when I admitted to them my limitations. I can come to them as a learner and a seeker of knowledge and I allow them to share with me things that I can’t do. I encourage you to make your classroom a place where every mistake is a learning experience. There is a further line in My Way that goes, “Yes there were times, I’m sure you knew, when I bit off more than I could chew.” But, that line is followed shortly by the line, “I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way.” My father taught me most of what I know, but his willingness to pick me up and support me, even when I fell down, may be the most important thing he did for me. With this being the conference issue I want to use some of my space to encourage you to come out and attend this year’s IBA conference from May 9th-11th at the Des Moines Marriott. It is my hope that the conference will truly reflect who we are as an organization. There will be sessions on teaching in smaller schools and a panel discussion on teaching in an urban school district. There will be sessions on integrating the Iowa Core and improving your marching band color guard. There will be sessions on u continued on page 9

6 The Iowa Bandmaster President-Elect’s Thoughts By Brad Lampe

I have been watching and observing Pat Kearney prepare for the upcoming 2013 I.B.A. Conference and I am amazed at the time, talent and cooperation that it takes to put this event together. I am learning quickly that I need to be on top of things before the avalanche of tasks takes over. Fortunately, Tony Garmoe and Pat have been very good about including me in meetings and planning sessions so I can observe what happens before I have to run what happens. Whoever the next president of I.B.A. is, I will definitely be there to help them along the way. This procession of president-elect, president and past-president works well and the camaraderie is extremely important. Also the roles of the secretary (Steve Cook), treasurer (Aaron Nuss) and magazine editor (Dick Redman) are not always visible but critically important to the health and effectiveness of our organization. These three gentlemen do not receive nearly enough recognition and praise for what they do for I.B.A. I would like everyone that attends this year’s conference to make a conscious effort to personally and face-to-face thank these three people for the dedication they have to their office (an e-mail would be great as well!). Their board positions and work they do are invaluable to our organization. I want to encourage all of you to attend this year’s conference. Pat Kearney has done an excellent job of creating seminars, clinics and performances that will benefit all grade-level teaching areas. I know that in our conversations during his scheduling plans, he was very conscientious about making sure that all of our members would have something of interest for them to attend. I admire the time, effort and caring thought that he has put into this event. Congratulations in advance to all of our retirees and 30-year service directors. I am in charge of collecting the biographies and data for this area. When I first started teaching, I thought that teaching 30 years would be a tough milestone to achieve. Now I have been teaching for 29 years, the paradigm has shifted and my sense of time is so very different than when I first started teaching. The years go by faster now. 30 years is a commendable milestone. I am also in charge of organizing the Past President’s Luncheon and as I go down the list of past presidents, I am impressed and in awe of the wealth of knowledge, history and honor that this group encompasses. It will be very exciting and interesting to see all of these people in one room. I’m looking forward to this event. I hope that all of the past presidents will join us for this wonderful gathering. When you attend the conference, please take time to visit our exhibit areas. Thank Dan Stecker who has worked very hard to present an interesting and beneficial array of booths that will have something inviting for everyone. Also, make sure you thank Jayson Gerth and Nathan Sletten for their tireless work in the equipment chair positions. They too work very hard at the conference for very little recognition and they deserve to be sought out and personally thanked. The logistics of the conference are in good hands with these two gentlemen. I hope I have provided some encouraging words to entice you to come to the 2013 IBA Conference with its outstanding clinics, seminars and performances. But don’t forget, one of the best benefits of this conference is the time spent connecting with other directors, meeting new friends and getting a chance to unwind, relax and “sharpen the saw.” Take the time to rejuvenate, have a good meal, share a refreshing beverage with a cohort and make the conference professionally satisfying and socially enjoyable. I look forward to seeing you in Des Moines at the Conference. Feel free to give me any ideas that you might have for the 2014 Conference.

BRT-Ad-Iowa-FullPg-Color.indd 1 9/12/12 10:12 AM President’s Message (continued from page 6) literature selection for beginning bands and how to develop a jazz band rhythm section. I am very excited that Professor Paula Crider will be giving the keynote address, as well as doing clinics/open rehearsals on rehearsal and conducting techniques. Professor Crider was one of the first three women invited to join the American Bandmaster’s Association and is a true leader in our profession. I am also very excited about the great music that will be made during the conference. Along with the numerous outstanding school bands that will be playing, there will also be performances by the world famous Boston Brass, Sioux City’s Reggie Schive Big Band, and Cedar Rapids’ FunkStop. There will also be a number of panel discussions where some truly excellent music educators will share their knowledge and answer questions about the practical issues that we all face in our classrooms. Most importantly it will be a chance to gather and spend some time together. I really do believe that there is something in this conference for everyone. If you are a regular at our IBA conferences, welcome back and I hope this one will stand out as special. If you’ve never been before, I really hope you will come and join us. It is a great chance to learn, grow, and get together with friends. I will never be able to thank everyone who has been so helpful during my term as IBA president. First of all I want to thank Tony Garmoe for his guidance. Tony allowed me amazing access to his term as president and it has greatly informed my time as president. Tony took on a great many initiatives and certainly moved our organization forward in numerous ways. I have to thank the entire Board of Directors for their support and guidance. The Iowa Bandmasters Association is fortunate to have such dedicated individuals serving in key leadership roles. A special thank you to Brad Lampe for offering advice and support. He is going to do an excellent job representing us in the next year. I also want to thank Jayson Gerth, Nathan Sletten and Dan Stecker who are truly the men who make the IBA conference go. They are tremendous. I want to thank my colleague Jeff Robilliard at Johnston High School, who has had to pick up plenty of slack as I threw myself into this term as IBA president. Lastly, thank you to my wife, Cathy, and my son, Brogan, for their patience and support this year. We all know how important our families are and I would not be able to function without mine. I will be doing some tweeting leading up to and through the conference (@iowabandmasters, #iba2013), so follow for up-to-date information about the conference. So, by the time you get this magazine the conference will be right in front of us. I’ll make one last plea for you to join us. It’s going to be a great three days of music, learning, sharing and fellowship. I’ll see you in Des Moines May 9th-11th.

Where? The IBA Golf Tournament will once again be held at the AH Blank Golf Course located on the corner of SW 9th St and County Line Rd. This course offers the latest in GPS and will challenge all golfers at every level. It is in a great location making it an easy and quick commute to downtown. From the Marriott Hotel (located on 7th St. and Grand) you will travel west two blocks to 9th St. and head south for about 6 miles, just past the zoo. If traveling that morning you may also choose to take the south bypass (Hwy 5) and take the 9th St. exit heading north. Either way, it is an easy course to get to. The exact address is 808 County Line Road.

Cost: $55.00 Entry fee that includes: 18 hole green fees, cart with GPS, cash prizes, raffle prizes and a lunch after we are finished.

Format: 18 hole, four-person scramble with shotgun start at 8:00 A.M. I’m sure we will also have the skins and mulligans for everyone also.

Why Play? 1. It’s a great time! 2. The course is a great place to share ideas! 3. It helps ease the mind with missing a rehearsal back at school!

Who Can Play? Anyone. If you have a foursome, put each name in. If you have only a twosome or you are a single, fill out the form and you will be placed with some new friends.

May 10, 2013 – 10:30 pm • Concert/Mixer • WINDOWS ON 7TH FUNKSTOP Sponsored by Good News Tour & Travel The talent: Marcus Perkins (vocals), Kevin K.D. Sims (vocals), Steve Shanley (keyboards), John Hall (bass), John Reasoner (guitar), Ryan Hoagland (drums), Jeff Schafer (baritone sax), Bob Manson (trombone), Peter Hart (tenor sax), Jason Maiers (trumpet) and Steve King (trumpet). The sound: Jazz fusion What happens when you combine 11 musicians of varying ages, influences and backgrounds? In the case of FunkStop, you get a high impact, soulful sound that features powerful horns and rhythm. Hailing from all over the country, including Washington D.C., and Chicago, all members found their way to Cedar Rapids and each other. From the ashes of Funk 101, Funk-Stop has a new drummer, but the same instruments and many of the same musicians. Many are music instructors with doctorates and masters degrees by day, as well as musicians who play for a living. They also welcomed back one of their original singers who spent several years fronting Mean Street and the Hell Horns. “About a year ago, Steve Shanley, John Hall and I had lunch and talked about putting a kick-ass horn band together to do more Jazz/Fusion,” says guitarist Reasoner. “We are very lucky to be able to do this where we live. It has given us the opportunity to give back to the community by way of benefits and school (performances). Being able to do what you love and help others is what it is all about.” Inspired by Tower of Power, James Brown and Earth, Wind and Fire, FunkStop currently performs covers but hopes to tackle original material soon. “Our main goal is to keep playing together,” Reasoner says. “We don’t really care too much about the money. We are in it for the music.” Drummer Ryan “Hoagy” Hoagland agrees. “We have a blast playing on stage with each other, playing great music,” he says. “It doesn’t get much better than that.”

62 The Iowa Bandmaster Iowa JEI News

by Christopher Merz, President

As of this writing, I have nearly completed the first year of my tenure as President of JEI. I would like to publicly thank the members of the Executive Board and Advisory Board for all of their help as we made the transition. In particular, I want to thank my long-time friend Rod Pierson, whose infinite patience with all of my phone calls and questions has been deeply appreciated. I would not have survived this year without you! Well, you and beer. The announcement of participants in this year’s All-State Jazz Ensembles has gone out to all participating directors.

The Iowa Bandmaster 69 70 The Iowa Bandmaster The Iowa Bandmaster 71 Iowa Community Band Directory Summer is getting closer! I am very grateful to Dick Redman and the Iowa Bandmasters Association for agreeing to publish the following list of community bands in Iowa. For updates to many of these listings I must also thank Dave Richardson, co-founder of the annual Iowa Municipal Band Festival, for the use of his mailing list. I urge all I.B.A. members to take a moment to look over this list, and please let me know if there are errors, omissions, or bands that no longer exist. My resources for keeping this database current are extremely limited. The annual publication in The Iowa Bandmaster is tremendously valuable as far as getting the word out. Your contributions of information are deeply appreciated. My contact information is shown in this listing under the Timber City Band. The listing is strictly alphabetical by the official name of the band. I have made absolutely no distinction between the bands as far as their funding sources, length of their seasons, the nature of their membership, the venues in which they perform ...or the quality of the group! The only criterion for inclusion is that it is a community-based wind ensemble of some kind. There are wonderful community bands throughout the United States, but I doubt that any state can boast as many good bands as Iowa!

The Iowa Bandmaster 81 Iowa Bandmasters Association Endowment Fund Committee Annual Meeting Offices of Jacobson Financial Services, LLC – Cedar Falls, Iowa February 21, 2013 • 4:15 PM IBA Endowment Committee Member attending on site: Doug Herbon (NE), Treasurer, with Wayne Jacobson, Financial Advisor. Committee Members attending telephonically: Gene Gross (SC), Chair, Cheryl Crandell (NW), Myron Welch (SE), Chuck Teutsch (SW) & John Aboud (NC), Secretary. Unable to participate: Aaron Nuss, IBA Treasurer, due to a concert and Patrick Kearney, IBA President, due to a family emergency. 4:15 PM – The meeting was called to order by Gene Gross, Chair. (A slight technical issue delayed the start of the meeting.)

Secretary’s Report: Reviewed by Secretary, John Aboud. Motion by Welch; second by Crandell. The report was APPROVED. (All committee members received the Secretary’s Report via email prior to the meeting.)

Treasurer’s Report: Presented by Treasurer, Doug Herbon. Treasurer Herbon explained that revenue from membership dues was not sufficient to fully pay for scholarships and selling investments in the LPL Money Market Fund held by the Endowment Fund made up the difference. Discussion was had regarding conference costs and the financial target of the contingency fund. Motion by Crandell; second by Welch – The report was APPROVED. (All committee members received the most recent financial statements via email from Endowment Committee Treasurer Doug Herbon prior to the meeting.)

Review of Endowment Fund/Dean Fund Portfolio Investments: Wayne Jacobson, Financial Advisor. Mr. Jacobson reported that the portfolio performance is improving and offered that we were over-weighted in the Putnam Diversified Income Fund. Mr. Jacobson recommended moving $10,000 from the Putnam Diversified Income Fund into another Putnam Fund designed to perform well in the eventuality of rising interest rates. The change would provide some income and represent a more conservative, i.e. secure, position and there was no fee for transferring within the same fund family. It was recommended all other investments in the Endowment and Dean Funds remain unchanged. Motion to transfer $10K to the Putnam Floating Rate Income Fund and leave all other investments in place. Motion by Crandell; second by Teutsch - Motion was APPROVED (All committee members received the most recent investment data via email from Wayne Jacobson to Gene Gross prior to the meeting.)

Contingency Fund Review: Wayne Jacobson, Doug Herbon & Gene Gross. The investment philosophy for the Contingency Fund addresses a need for preservation and liquidity of funds. It is the current view of the Endowment Fund Committee that laddered CDs best meets this philosophy. There was a motion to move $10,000.00 from the money market account held in the Contingency fund to a CD and that CDs which came due during 2013 be reinvested into laddered CDs. Motion by Welch; second by Crandell - Motion was APPROVED.

Spring Conference: Motion by Welch; second by Crandell to contribute again $1,000.00 from the Dean Fund to sponsor clinics and/or performances in support of concert bands and/or chamber music for the 2013 Spring Conference. Motion was APPROVED.

Major Landers: Herbon and Gross. Treasurer Herbon reported that the Major Landers Scholarship program remains under-funded and that in the past six years annual income from membership dues has averaged $4,538.00. The difference between income generated by dues and the $7500 committed for scholarships has resulted in an annual average shortfall of $2,962.00. The difference is addressed through interest earned on and by cashing in investments. Chairman Gross pointed out that interest income from investments has been minimal, and although we have a commitment to pay for Major Landers’ scholarships, we also have a responsibility to preserve and continue the viability of

82 The Iowa Bandmaster the Endowment Fund. Gross urged the committee to make and discuss suggestions to address how to pay for Major Landers without cashing in investments. After discussion, Welch proposed the following: 1. Increase dues so that $10.00 rather than $5.00 are committed to Major Landers. 2. *Postpone funding the contingency fund for one year and divert the $5.00 from dues for the Contingency Fund to Major Landers. One year would be added to the Contingency Fund project to complete the ten-year commitment to become self-insuring. (The data regarding the projected costs of the conference was discussed at this time. Chairman Gross is going to revisit this information.) 3. Request a one-time donation of $500.00 from the six districts to cover the shortfall for the Major Landers scholarships for the spring semester of 2013. (Four districts have already approved this donation.) 4. Any remaining or future shortfall in funding the Major Landers scholarships would be paid from investments, as needed. Motion by Gross; second by Welch - Motion was APPROVED.

*It is assumed that the result of any increase in dues for Major Landers would not be in place until spring of 2014. By diverting the $5.00 per dues from the Contingency Fund to Major Landers in fiscal 2013-14, scholarships would be funded without converting investments.

5:40 PM, Motion to adjourn – Doug Herbon. Meeting report submitted by John Aboud, Secretary. (All committee votes were unanimous.)

The Iowa Bandmaster 83 Endowment Fund Summary (continued) Overall, the Endowment Fund annual report for 2012 continues to show improvement in investment performance. Although it’s taken nearly five years to do so, we’ve regained the high water mark of 2007, surviving the devastating market downturn that began in October of 2007. Considering annual outlays for Major Landers awards and the State Conference, and that the fund stream from IBA does not cover all our annual commitments, it seems remarkable to have done this well. A continuing challenge is the insufficient annual support for Major Landers. While interest on money market investments helps, the shortfall in funding of Major Landers scholarships from membership dues, as it now exists, will likely necessitate continued sale of investments. In contrast, due to strong contributions from IBA, the Contingency Fund continues to grow and is nearing the point where we may consider the full cost of the annual state conference insured. Three years remain of the ten-year plan committed to achieving the goal for self-insured protection against any unforeseen cause, which would cancel the conference and leave the IBA liable for all expenses.

Explanation of Accounts Held In the Endowment Fund

Income for the Endowment Fund is from interest earned on money market accounts and bond funds, from growth and dividends of mutual funds, contributions from individuals, contributions from the Iowa Bandmasters Association, and $10.00 from the dues paid by each active member. ($5.00 is intended to pay for Major Landers Awards, and $5.00 is to be invested in the Contingency Fund.) Annually, liabilities for the Endowment Fund include Major Landers Scholarships, in the amount of $7,500.00, and $1,000.00 to support the State Conference. The contribution to the State Conference is drawn from the Dean Fund to sponsor clinicians and/or performances that promote concert bands and chamber ensembles.

Accounts held by the Endowment Fund are as follows.

Bank Iowa Checking Account This is the checking account held by the IBA Endowment Fund for the purpose of paying scholarships and all liabilities. The account is held at the Bank Iowa in Cedar Falls.

Bank Iowa Money Market Account This is an interest producing money market account. Contributions and transfers from dues and contributions from the IBA are first deposited in this account before being invested. Money from dues is drawn as needed from this account and placed in the checking account to pay bills. Contributions are invested.

LPL Money Market Investments held by the EF are either in the form of money market or mutual funds. The money market portion of the Dean and Endowment Funds is invested in LPL Money Market. Note: LPL stands for Lynsco/Private Ledger. LPL is a broker-dealer and the largest in their field. Our advisor, Wayne Jacobson, (Jacobson Financial Services) is independent and sales are not limited to a single company. However, Mr. Jacobson is not a broker, so, by law he must be affiliated with a broker-dealer to facilitate investments. LPL is the broker with whom he is affiliated. LPL has no proprietary investments but provides access to marketing, accounting, etc.

LPL Investments LPL Investments represent the portion of the Dean and Endowment Funds invested in mutual funds.

Contingency Fund Beginning with the summer meeting of 2004, the Iowa Bandmasters Association began setting aside funds to self- insure against a financial catastrophe such as an unforeseen event that would cancel the state conference after the arrangements and financial obligations were already in place. In order to conform to IRS requirements, it was necessary to separate this fund from the IBA treasury. Therefore, the Contingency Fund was set up as part of the Endowment Fund. On our ledger, the Contingency Fund is listed separately from the rest of the Endowment Fund. The Endowment Committee decided at their January meeting of 2006 that due to the need for liquidity and security, investments of the Contingency Fund would be limited to CDs or money market. All Contingency Fund investments are to be liquid and safe and are currently held in laddered CDs and a checking account.
