Monday and Tuesday of this week was the All - County Band for Nash county. The high school clinician this year was Dr. Evan Feldman, Director of the UNC-CH Wind Ensemble. This dude is such a great clinician. He is laid back, relaxed, smart, funny, energetic, etc. He picked great music that the kid enjoyed performing and they sounded great. It has been a great opportunity for me to get to know him over the last few years through the brass band. Every year UNC-CH hosts us for a day long rehearsal where he, as well as other faculty members, get a chance to work with our students. It's a great recruiting opportunity for them and a great learning experience for the kids. Everyone, including myself, gets so much out of those rehearsals. Watching him work with the band inspires me to get better at my conducting and rehearsing. I wish I could conduct as relaxed and fluidly as he does......he makes it look so relaxing and fun. Hopefully I can bring him in to work with the band again soon....
