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.
