Not everything is firm at this point in the 2009 Convention planning, but as we know things for sure,
we'll be sure to post them here!
So far, we can announce that Dr. Jim Bates has agreed to conduct us
in the 2009 En Masse Orchestra this year! Jim will also lead a couple of seminars (topics stiil to be

For those of you who have never experienced his dynamic style, you're in for a treat!
