CRAMER MARK S. KELLY “We are the Music-Makers” “We are the Dreamers of Dreams” 2 The Iowa Bandmaster The Iowa Bandmaster 3 4 The Iowa Bandmaster President’s Message By Myron Peterson On A Mission – Part VI If you’re a regular reader of these articles, you may remember being riddled with a few overtly vague references in recent issues. If it’s clarity you seek, the wait is over. We’re excited to share some of the hallmarks of the 91st Annual IBA Conference. The first individual, who is the answer to the aforementioned riddles, is the key- note speaker on Friday, May 11, 2018. Dr. Karl Paulnack currently serves as the Dean of Music at Ithaca College and formerly the Director of the Music Division at Boston Conservatory. In 2009, IBA’s fall magazine published the text of a speech Dr. Paulnack gave to parents of incoming freshmen music students in 2004. That speech made its way around the internet (always just a search away). Since that time Dr. Paulnack frequently appears as a keynote speaker and presenter. He holds a B.M. in piano performance from the Eastman School of Music, and the M.M. and D.M.A. degrees from the University of Southern California. He is also a graduate of the Boston University Institute for Non-Profit Management and Leadership. And there’s more to his story; tune in to the Winter Issue for more details on Dr. Paulnack’s contributions to the 91st Annual Conference. The second individual we’d like to introduce isDr. Rebecca Phillips, Director of Bands at Colorado State University. Dr. Phillips will serve as our young conductor clinician and present a variety of sessions throughout the conference. Prior to her arrival in Colorado, she served as Associate Director of Bands at University of South Carolina, and as a secondary school band director for seven years in Tampa, Florida. She has already done a tremendous amount of work to facilitate breathtaking moments at the conference. And yet there’s more to her story; tune in to the Winter Issue for more details on Dr. Phillip’s contributions to the 91st Annual Conference. The final big reveal (for now) is the headline performance which will take place on Thursday evening, May 10, 2018, (and seriously . clear your schedule for this one . it’ll be a must-hear concert). The Des Moines Symphony Winds will present a 75-minute concert in the Iowa Ballroom featuring repertoire ranging from 1858 to 2018, from France to Czechoslovakia to the United States, and even to Iowa. There will be something on this concert for everyone. And, yes, there’s more to this story; tune in to the Winter Issue for more details about this grand event. In November, alongside the IMEA Professional Development Conference and the Iowa All-State Festival, the IBA will hold a Board of Directors meeting and an open business meeting on Saturday, November 18th at 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. respectively. All members are encouraged to attend the open business meeting. While in Ames, please consider registering for and attending the IMEA Professional Development Conference, which contains a strand of sessions geared towards band. Presenters include: Steve Stickney, Dr. Gerry Kreitzer, Kent Keating, Dr. Keith Dye, David Law, Dr. Michelle Swanson, Dr. Erin Bodnar, Lynn Tuttle, Dr. Nicholas Enz, Dr. Mark Doerffel, Dr. Christine Damm, Patrick Kearney, Brad Lampe, Dr. Julie Hobbs, Dr. Trent Hollinger, Dr. Daniel Albert, Chad Criswell, Dr. Patrick Moore, Dr. Kevin Droe, JEI, and with performances by the 34th Army Band Synergy Wind Ensemble,
