Area III attendees at the International Symposium and National Seminar totaled close to
70 - a few attended both - great representation! Following is corrected information about this event.
Debbie Rice, Linda Lamb, Al and Lois Reese, Kath Wissinger and Michael Glasgow (court jester) all participated
in an amazing Renfaire lunch created, engineered and executed by Tim Waugh - a one-in-a-lifetime.
Debbie Rice was one of the massed conductors for the Int'l Symposium, conducting Carmina Burana with 1000
ringers, a full band, singing choir and two grand pianos! It was incredible! The ringing ensembles of
Anacrusis (Baltimore) and Tapestry (Hampton Roads) each performed in the solo concerts at the Symposium.
Teachers for the National Seminar includes these Area III folks: Michael Glasgow, Nick Hanson, David
Harris, and Debbie Rice. Area III was well-represented at the Composer's unpublished music
session with compositions submitted and conducted by David Engle, Michael Glasgow, Nick Hanson, Al Reese,
Greg Underwood, and Kath Wissinger.

These are top quality events with nationally known directors and skilled teachers.
