Dr Eugene Rousseau will be directing a master class for our Honor Band students during the conducting collegium at the Jefferson Inn and Suites across the street from the Grand Theater.  The master class will begin with a performance by Dr. Rousseau followed by saxophone student soloists and ensembles that would like feedback from Dr. Rousseau. To conclude the session, students and band directors will facilitate a question and answer section with Dr. Rousseau, ranging from technique and musicianship to topics related to auditioning, choosing schools, and practice habits. A roundtable discussion for band directors, music dealers, and area musicians will take place in the morning hours during the Honor Band rehearsal with Dr. Eugene Rousseau.  A tentative schedule of the day’s events can be viewed below.
