From the Podium While that thought is admittedly bleak, the potential rooted in our current set of circumstances is nothing short of astonishing. Dear Colleagues and Friends, Enlightened leadership by those spearheading the collegiate wind band movement over the last several decades has led to a repertoire Greetings from Arizona! While many of you are finally enjoying only dreamed of a short time ago. The school band, always under the “great outdoors” after enduring winterʼs grip, we are preparing siege during economic downturns, is, nevertheless, still a vital part to run for the shelter of air-conditioned spaces, as the intensity of of the musical life of many communities. Those two particulars—a summer in the desert rapidly approaches. recent history of collaboration with dozens of major composers It is my privilege to serve as President of CBDNA at a most who have significantly improved our repertoire and the fact that vibrant time in the organizationʼs history. In this letter, I will do wind bands of all kinds are still an important part of the fabric of my best to make clear why I hold that sentiment and, hopefully, many schools—leave us enviably positioned. We have tentacles entice you to join me in meeting the challenges that are a part of embedded in two worlds crucial to our future: “concert music” this period in our development.

I submit, though, that our reach in both directions is somewhat precarious; in the First, though, one enormous THANK YOU to Craig Kirchhoff, first case, because it is still budding and in the second, because the Jerry Luckhardt, Timothy Diem, and the wonderful group of stu- arm has atrophied, at least to some degree. Subsequently, I believe dents and staff at the University of Minnesota for playing host to that our most important task as an organization is simultaneously one of the largest CBDNA gatherings in our sixty-two-year history. to strengthen our ties to both areas. Moreover, I maintain that in Craig and his associates not only accommodated our every need, doing so, we will realize the tremendous potential that we currently but also handled a complex array of conference events—includ- hold, perhaps redefining ourselves in the process. ing the inevitable last minute “emergencies”—with aplomb!

2 - FROM THE PODIUM president of Boosey & Hawkes states, “Itʼs important to me that To begin to address the formidable challenges about which I have composers not be pigeonholed, that composers who write concert written in this letter, I have already organized or am now forming music write a band work.” Are we ready and willing to follow several new entities: a Multi-Organization Band Education Task wherever composers may lead us? For example, in order to tap a Force, made up of one representative from each of the major band given composerʼs best creative juices, are we open to novel com- organizations; a “Coast-to-Coast” Network of Correspondence binations of instruments and willing to accommodate a wide range that will undertake electronic discussions regarding issues in band of ensemble configurations? If so, are we resourceful enough to music education; a “New Era” Think Tank that will explore issues overcome the logistical issues inherent in that stand by inventing encompassing the fieldʼs future; and a 2005 National Conference new operational paradigms? I contend that if we are willing not only Local Arrangements Committee to assist with arrangements in New to acknowledge, but also to embrace the position we now hold in York City. The membership of all of these groups will be posted the new music arena, we will gain the courage necessary to follow on the CBDNA website in the near future to facilitate your input composers down paths that we presently donʼt traverse. into CBDNAʼs agenda.

Few suggest that it is possible to reform teacher education; teaching can be improved only by professional development. Getty, with its dollars, was able to engineer the National Standards and to develop a National Board of Professional Teaching Standards evaluation in the visual arts and to influence the board to add music, but Lani Duke, who directed the Getty effort admits to two failures: the lack of a television program and any affect upon visual arts teacher education. Having state tests for teacher certification or use of the tests devel- oped by ETS and the NBPTS for experienced teachers allowed the camel to get its nose inside the tent. That nose was alternative cer- tification. Alternative certification is endorsed by the professional musicians, the conservatories, and by the folks in Washington. One of the wolf cries was that teachers were not competent in their pri- mary subject, but I know of no literature indicating that poor music teaching results from a lack of subject matter knowledge.

Please read that again: This issue of the Report is the LAST you will receive in hard copy format! All future issues will be available for download at the CBDNA website's publications page: http://www.cbdna.org/publications.html This change will save CBDNA thousands of dollars annually without interupting the flow of information to which CBDNA members have become accustomed. We hope that the transition will be a smooth one. You will receive an email announcement (with instructions) as each Report is made avialable for download and viewing. Your computer will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader (available at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html). You may wish to "test" your computer by downloading a previous issue. Go to http://www.cbdna.org/publications.html and give it a try! If there is anything that I can do to help make this an easy transition for you, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email.

Best wishes, Doug Douglas Stotter, editor CBDNA Report
