CRAMER ROBERT WASHUT MYRON WELCH “We are the Music-Makers” “We are the Dreamers of Dreams” 2 The Iowa Bandmaster The Iowa Bandmaster 3 President’s Message By Jane Triplett Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right! — Oprah Winfrey Beginning this magazine article on New Years’ Day has me wondering about resolutions. After attending the Midwest Clinics, my mind raced with possibilities. Should I make a personal resolution or consider something related to teaching? Perhaps one for each! What I have learned about resolutions: 1) keep it simple; 2) keep it real (obtainable); 3) post it somewhere. Many realizations come with age, like how I truly feel blessed with wonderful family and friends. Secondly, to enjoy life in the NOW; be present in the moment. The year my sister and mother were simultaneously fighting cancer (and survived!), my life became more positive with ODAAT (One Day at a Time). This acronym above my desk reminds me of what is truly important. When I look at our students, I wish for them everything I have and more. Attitude makes the difference, so I try to teach and display that every day. Resolutions might not change the world, but we can (and do!) make a difference every day…especially as band directors! Several pieces of news on the conference front. The schedule on Thursday and Friday will include a 30-minute slot for visiting the exhibit booths. Exhibitors are a HUGE part of our conference on several levels, so please use this time to see what they have to offer, make connections and let them know how much we appreciate their attendance. As seen on the IMEA Conference program, when President David Law created the conference, and as requested by Elementary Affairs, we will bring back the track identification of conference clinics. I hope this will guide our membership to clinics that will be most helpful. Here are the proposed codes: w EL—elementary w MS—middle school w HS/CO—high school/college w CS—college student w NT—new teachers (1-5 years) w All—all of the above categories Please note that our IBA Conference fees have increased to $60.00. A $10.00 discount is available to members pre-registering by April 15, 2019. Next year’s dues are: Active-$75.00; Associate-$45.00; Retired-$30.00; Student-$20.00 This is simply keeping up with the usual timing of increased fees and considers inflation costs of the conference. In addition, we hope to have monies to better support committees and create a fund towards our 100th IBA special event and celebration. More highlights of the conference…we are adding the All-Female Jazz Orchestra of Iowa directed by Toni LeFebrve for our Friday evening mixer. Dr. Mark Whitlock, Director of Bands at University of Minnesota- Duluth, will give tips for collegiate music education students. Hal Leonard Music Publishing is sponsoring two outstanding speakers, John Mlynczak and Steve Smith, who will talk about teaching intonation and technology in the classroom. Dr. Ryan Frost, UNI percussion professor, will solo with the Don Bosco percussion ensemble for a clinic/concert. Several panel discussions will take place, one in particular for collegiate students to hear from administrators, fine art coordinators, new teachers, and college professors, followed with a chat session to talk individually with the panel members. A small school panel will discuss the pros of staying with a 5-12 grade program and a women’s panel, with an amazing line-up of professionals, will discuss issues of women composers, conductors and teaching today. Last, but not least, our keynote speaker will be Scott Lang, who probably does not need much introduction within the band world. His books and clinics regarding student leadership and advocacy are full of great information, energy and positive vibes. 4 The Iowa Bandmaster President-Elect’s Thoughts By Jayson Gerth Beginnings It was the spring of 1983. I sat in the back row of the Winona, Minnesota All- City 5th Grade band concert. In front of me was a tuba mounted in a metal support stand, a lesson book, and about 100 other anxious ten-year-olds.
