With a touch that matches Yamaha concert grand pianos, hammers made of deer antler for a restrained reverberation, and the first ever single-layer action to create a uniform feel, the new key glockenspiel from Yamaha gives professionals ample reason to depend on Yamaha.

VALUE The Iowa Bandmaster 3 President’s Report By Michael Golemo I hope this letter finds you, your family and your students doing well. I also hope that you had a nice holiday break and that you are again challenging your students and yourself in the pursuit of quality music-making through band. I attended the Midwest Band & Orchestra Clinic in Chicago this past December and always leave feeling inspired and challenged to improve what I do. One of my highlights each year is hearing the performance by the Chicago Symphony Brass. Their musicality, precision, endurance and control astounds me each year. I return to my own teaching with a new set of “ears” and feel renewed and ready to raise the standards with what I do. Each year we are fortunate to take several of our instrumental music education students to the Midwest Clinic. Those that are attending for the first time are shocked to discover the magnitude of the event, the overwhelming number of clinics and performances and the size of the exhibit area. It is interesting to hear their conversations on the way home. They are gratified to learn there are so many resources and support for that which they plan to make their lifelong career. They also are instilled with a deeper sense of understanding and commitment to our profession. After attending the Midwest Clinic, I reflected on our own IBA conference. Although our event might not be as big (and as expensive) as the one in Chicago, I always leave the IBA conference with the same feelings that I experience in Chicago. Our conference provides outstanding clinic sessions, brilliant performances, a large exhibit area, and the opportunity to network and make or renew professional contacts. I hope that you share my pride in the IBA conference and that you will support and attend our upcoming event. At this time, I am proud to announce that this year’s IBA conference will have the theme, “Building Community.” Although we may teach at different levels, in different parts of the state, have unique specializations, and have differences as teachers in gender, religion, ages…we ALL are dedicated to teaching music through band. It is important to remember that we are ALL in this together, and that IBA is the organization
