Congratulations and welcome, Mr. Fetting!

Going downtown to protest the NRA & GOP in #Houston tomorrow? Please be prepared and take care of yourself. Allow me to offer tips based on my decades of experience as a lawyer (tho this is NOT legal advice), activist, and person who hates hot weather. A thread:

It was an exciting day yesterday for some of our band students! They had the opportunity to play for the unveiling of a fountain on the Houston Sports Walk of Fame. Mayor Sylvester Turner was in attendance, along with several Houston sports legends!

Several HSPVA band students visited Pershing Middle School yesterday to perform some chamber music. We also had a chance to sit in with the band to offer advice and feedback while Mr. Fetting led a rehearsal. Thanks to Mr. Atkins for hosting us! We had a great time!

Spotted at Houston Youth Symphony rehearsal today: most of the nine HSPVA band students who hold positions in HYS ensembles, plus Mr. Fetting, who was there to lead sectionals. We are very proud of our students who play in these amazing groups!

Thanks to the Houston Symphony for inviting our HSPVA band, orchestra, and piano students to Jones Hall today for an open rehearsal. We enjoyed the artistry on stage, and appreciated the opportunity to speak with new music director Juraj Valčuha during the break.

We had a lot of fun at our Band Lunch Yesterday! We shared many wonderful moments and are so happy we got to share this time with each other.

The Great Lakes Naval Fleet Band brass quintet, "The Brass Ambassadors," visited us today. They did a masterful job presenting a fun and diverse program of music. We also appreciated their insight into careers in music and the life of military musicians. Thank you!

Yesterday, some of our band students traveled to Austin for a day of food, fun, and music! We had lunch at the famous Salt Lick BBQ and then went to UT Austin for some bowling. The day ended at the UT Butler School of Music, where we enjoyed a performance by the UT Wind Ensemble.
