| History Conference |
We have found it necessary for both financial and programming constraints to not hold the Band History Conference at the 2010 Festival. At the moment we have every hope to hold the event in 2011. This year-long ‘sabbatical’ will allow us time to carefully study what we have done correctly and what we can improve, plus seek the resources for funding the event. We appreciate any comments or input. Contact Niki Kinkade at 800-755-0076 or 859-319-8426 |
