We have had a great time here in Yakima at the All-State Music Conference. We have spent the weekend visiting with colleagues, attending clinics and watching concerts. The Army Brass Quintet was featured in a concert on Friday night. The best part of the concert was when they accompanied the silent movie "Teddy at the Throttle." Last night we went to the final banquet which featured a Wenatchee High School group, Mariachi Huenachi. It was a lot of fun to see a mariachi group perform with their colorful clothing and unique sound.
Another enjoyable part of the evening was listening to a speech by the National Teacher of the Year Andrea Peterson. She was a music teacher from Granite Falls, WA so she was able to connect very well to a room filled with Washington music educators.
