The Iowa Bandmaster 3 President’s Message By Michael Golemo I hope that your musical year is off to a great start. october is a unique and exciting month…many programs reflect on the success of their marching programs and transi- tion to the concert band…beginning band students select their instruments …middle school students advance to a higher level of literature…high school students anxious- ly prepare for all-state auditions…and college and university bands have just com- pleted their first concerts. There is an ongoing rhythm and ritual to what we do every day, every month, and every year – and what a marvelous cycle it is! The trick is to keep everything that we do at the highest possible level, current, and inspired. At times it seems difficult to keep up with all that we do, right? I learned early on in my career that it was important to build a network of friends and peers in the profession to help my program and my teaching. We are in a profession where others are always willing to share what they know and how they do things. Let me encourage you to continually build your network with people who have programs that you respect. What teaching methods are others using in rehearsal? What repertoire and method books work best? What ideas and solutions have others found with regards to scheduling, budgets, jazz education, mentoring and arts advocacy. What are you doing to improve your conducting and your knowledge of all band instruments? And what are you doing to maintain your personal health and family life? These topics, and more, are issues that many of us share with our peers in the profession. our conference in May will provide sessions on these topics and more. Think of IBA as a network of friends multiplied by a hundred! IBA exists to provide resources to us through a special network of experienced, successful and respected profes- sionals. Although we do not traditionally have a “theme” for our IBA conferences, I’d like to propose that our conference be titled, “Building Community.” our programs, as well as our profession, need to be inclusive. This can mean different things for different programs, but certainly our profession has a growing number of women over the past decade or two, and I believe that we need to recognize and support that fact. I’m happy to announce that our keynote speaker will be Dr. Tim (Lautzenheiser), from Attitude Concepts for Today. I’ve asked him to provide a message of community into his opening remarks. Tim is always a highly inspirational speaker, and I always feel reaffirmed and revitalized after hearing his message. In addition to Dr. Tim, there will be sessions on a wide variety of topics. It is important that our conference pro- vides informational sessions for everyone at all levels of teaching. There will also be opportunities to hear some of the finest bands, at all levels, from our state. Please remember that Band Performance applications for performance at the 2016 conference are due December 11, 2015, and that all recordings are due January 20, 2016. We have built into the schedule an opportunity for a small college performance, and hope to have applications from community bands, too. our annual fall business meeting will be held on Saturday, November 21, at 3:00 pm in the Scheman Building at the Iowa All-State Music Festival.
