2014 - Mississippi Bandmasters Association
PRESIDENT’S WELCOME Dear Friends, On behalf of the Mississippi Bandmasters Association Executive Board, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Natchez and the 77th Annual State Band Clinic. It is our hope that you will find this weekend beneficial in many ways. To the students in attendance, congratulations on your selection to this prestigious event. Over the past 77 years, literally thousands of young people just like you have had experiences like this that have impacted them for a lifetime. Many of the people that you may see this weekend have made lifetime friendships at this event. Additionally, our hope for you is that you get to experience music making in ways you never have before. We also hope you will take your experiences home with you in an effort to lead your home band to higher levels. Your directors think very highly of you to nominate you for this clinic. Thank them by making the most of this opportunity. We also hope you will take time to meet with our exhibitors during your break times and discover things that may make you a better musician and increase your love of music. Let me also encourage our membership to be the most gracious of hosts to the exhibitors, clinicians, and other visitors to this unique event. While we enjoy this time to unwind and renew friendships, let us also remember that this is a weekend of opportunity. Please take every opportunity to meet with our exhibitors and hear what they have to offer. Make a special effort to hear what our presenters suggest to us in an effort to make our jobs easier and our students more productive. Take time to lend an ear to a younger teacher who may need your particular brand of expertise. We offer a special welcome to our guest clinicians, exhibitors, ensembles, and conductors. The directors and students of our state are deeply indebted to you for your expertise and your willingness to share with us. If there is a way we can make your stay a more enjoyable one, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you to the Natchez Convention Center, the Natchez Grand Hotel, the Natchez Chamber of Commerce, and all the good people here in Natchez for your hospitality and support. A special thanks goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Rigdon for making this clinic run smoothly; to my wife, Andrea, and son, Lee, for understanding the commitment and time required to serve this great association; to my partners in crime, the executive board, for having my back; and to the body of the MBA, thank you for entrusting me with this great responsibility. As I retire from band directing, I am confident that this facet of education is standing on solid ground due to the capacity of knowledge, comradery, and skill set of the great band directors of Mississippi.

She received her Bachelor of Music Education degree from the University of Mississippi. She started her teaching career at S.D. Lee High School with Thad Mullins. In 1993 she started at Aberdeen School District with her husband, Ernie Reece and her dearest colleague Kenneth Clay. Ms. Reece teaches grades 6-12, and directs Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Jazz Band, Indoor Percussion and Indoor Guard groups. She has served on the Mississippi Bandmasters board, National Federation of High School Activities Board, Northeast Band Directors Board. She has received Outstanding Young Band Directors Award, George Henry Schultz Award, Who’s Who Among American High School Teachers, Star Teacher at Aberdeen High School. Ms. Reece is proud to have had 35 student teachers throughout her career and is assisting the Aberdeen School District with mentoring new teachers in a new program. She is most proud of her two daughters, Nikki an industrial interior designer that resides in Nashville, and Cori that is completing her Music Degree from Mississippi State University. Always be passionate about teaching, it is a calling not just a job, students are like seeds they must have strong roots to succeed! And expect more from your students on a daily basis! And lastly, never throw away a child, you never know what potential was there!! 8 M I S S I S S I P P I B A N D M A S T E R S A S S O C I AT I O N 2013 PHI BETA MU OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTOR Thomas V. Fraschillo, DMA, has served as catalyst and mentor for the teaching profession for 46 years. His high standards of performance have had a sustained influence on ensembles at every level, and his performances serve as models in both the professional or academic arena. Through his recordings, The Music of Luigi Zaninelli and The University of Southern Mississippi Wind Ensemble LIVE IN ITALY (recorded in Italy), and his publishing, conducting, and lecturing in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia, he is considered an international musician/scholar. His publications, translations from the original Italian of Alessandro Vessella’s Studi di strumentazione (Instrumentation Studies), and La THOMAS V. FRASCHILLO Tecnica dell’orchestra contemporanea (The Technique of Contemporary Orchestration) by Alfredo Casella and Vittorio Mortari, both published by BMG Ricordi, Milan, have put his name in libraries of the entire English speaking world. As a writer/scholar Dr. Fraschillo is a contributing editor to the American Grove Dictionary, 2nd Edition and serves as a frequent conductor and lecturer in Italy. His most recent appearances in Italy have been with La Banda dell’esercito/The Italian Army Band in Rome. One of his most significant engagements with them signaled a very important milestone for the Italian Army in that Dr. Fraschillo was the first American-born conductor to have been invited to appear in a public performance by what is considered Italy’s most prestigious military concert band. The concert with Dr. Fraschillo conducting was the opening concert of the International Festival in Spoleto,“The Festival of Two Worlds, Festival dei due mondi.” His appearance was enormously significant for conductors of bands in that the opening performance featured such international artists as Gian Carlo Menotti, the renowned composer, the Orchestra and Giuseppe Verdi Chorus of Milan, and the Italian actress, Claudia Cardinale. Finally, in Italy Dr. Fraschillo often serves as a member of the judging panel for many international festivals, most notably the Concorso Internazionale di Composizione “R. Marenco” di Novi Ligure, and the Concorso Internazionale di Composizione Originale per Banda di Corciano. Aside from Dr. Fraschillo’s work in Europe, he is often engaged throughout the continents of Asia, and Australia. The Melbourne, Australia, Summer Youth Music Program has invited Dr. Fraschillo to be their guest conductor for their summer session for five years. In addition the Australian Band and Orchestra Directors Association has invited him to lecture and to adjudicate at their large ensemble festivals. Dr. Fraschillo’s other work in the Pacific Rim includes having served as clinician and guest conductor of the Central Armed Forces Band in Singapore and as conductor of the Singapore All-College Band sponsored by the Wind Band Association of Singapore. In 2009 and 2010 Dr. Fraschillo served as Artistic Director for the weeklong Winter Band Festival at Disney, Hong Kong. Dr. Fraschillo has recently been recognized by election to the National Band Association’s Hall of Fame of Distinguished Conductors, a distinct honor that recognizes his lengthy career as a public school, university, and professional conductor. Dr. Fraschillo devoted a significant amount of his career to the education of young people in Mississippi. For example his ten-year tenure at Meridian High School was highlighted by a performance at the Midwest Clinic in Chicago, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious music event for wind and string educators. The invitation was only the second to have been given to a band from Mississippi. Dr. Fraschillo’s Meridian students obtained successes not before reached, for he taught and helped place the first African-American students in the Mississippi All-State Band. Not only were they among the first minority members, but they were also the first African-Americans to attain the very highest positions in the group. Dr. Fraschillo has attained a significant level in the realm of international leadership in that he serves as a past president of the prestigious American Bandmasters Association, past president of the world’s largest organization for band directors, the National Band Association, and President of the CBDNA Southern Division. 7 7 T H A N N U A L S T A T E B A N D C L I N I C 9 PHI BETA MU HALL OF FAME In 1990 the Delta chapter of Phi Beta Mu International Bandmasters Fraternity and the Mississippi Bandmasters Association formed a Hall of Fame to honor our most outstanding retired band directors. The membership of the Delta chapter felt that it was most appropriate to recognize the efforts of these “legendary” music directors. CHARTER MEMBERS Simon Kooyman Roy M.

MCARTHUR WOMEN’S MUSIC EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD From her humble beginnings as a full time student and part time band director in Taylorsville in the late 1950’s, through the magnificent Henderson (Starkville) Junior High Bands of the mid 1970’s to her small but immaculately taught West Point Junior High Band’s of the early 90’s, (about which she often commented that this was where she did her best teaching), Edythe McArthur was the unquestioned pioneer for women music educators in Mississippi. While she never considered herself a women-libber, Mrs. Mac paved the way for future generations of women in music education not simply by being one the first women in what was at that time a male dominated profession, but by being the consummate professional, master teacher and a lady in the truest since of the word that she was. Qualifications: Nominees must have no less than ten years active service to Instrumental Music Education in the State of Mississippi. Nominees must have a prolific, documentable record of Instrumental Music Education success in the public schools of Mississippi. (Documentation shall not be limited to contest ratings, though concrete evidence is advantageous.) Nominees must have made significant documentable contributions to Instrumental Music Education in the State of Mississippi, be it through state office, state and region committee membership, continual mentorship or similar contributions Nominees must have consistently demonstrated the highest in professional and personal ethics through both word and deed.

To tongue or not to tongue? Our valved-brass cousins blow through legato passages and let the valves naturally provide diction to the notes under the slur. However, trombones are blessed (or cursed!) with a slide, which complicates matters. This clinic will provide some background on the issue, methods of approach as both an educator and performer, along with some trouble-shooting solutions. Dr. Ben McIlwain joined the faculty of The University of Southern Mississippi in the fall of 2010 and was named the Nina Bells Suggs Endowed Professor of Trombone in May of 2014. He holds degrees from Middle Tennessee State University (B.M.), Manhattan School of Music (M.M.) and The Florida State University (D.M.) One of Dr. McIlwain’s main passions and research interests is supporting new music for the trombone. As of June 2014, Dr. McIlwain has commissioned nineteen new works for trombone solo and/or ensemble. This includes compositions for his group, Tromboteam, which successfully funded a Kickstarter.com campaign in 2012 that raised $10,000 for new works for trombone ensemble including composers James Kazik, Kevin McKee and Alan Theisen to name a few. Tromboteam is set to release their debut album containing all nine of these Kickstarter.com funded commissions in the fall of 2014. This recording is funded by a Scholarly and Creative Arts Grant provided by the College of Arts and Letters. After being awarded the Aubrey Keith Lucas and Ella Ginn Lucas Endowment for Faculty Excellence, Dr. McIlwain was able to fund a new concerto for trombone and orchestra by Russian composer, Polina Nazaykinskaya. In addition, the composer has agreed that this piece will be written in memory of McIlwain’s former student Gustavo Campos Cassemiro, who lost his battle with cancer on December 4, 2013. The title of this work will be: Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra, In Memoriam to Gustavo Campos Cassemiro. Premiere performances include with the Southern Miss Symphony Orchestra in February 2015 and with the U.S. Pershing’s Own at the American Trombone Workshop in March 2015. In addition to these commissioning and performance opportunities, Dr. McIlwain has been active in service to the International Trombone Association. The President of the International Trombone Association, Jiggs Whigham, appointed him, Director of TAPAS. This newly-formed project (Trombone Artists Performing for Amateurs and Students) aims to double the membership of the ITA over the next two years through a heavy marketing campaign. Also, Dr. McIlwain serves as a coordinator for the state (US) and international representatives of TAPAS. 26 M I S S I S S I P P I B A N D M A S T E R S A S S O C I AT I O N DIRECTOR CLINIC DETAILS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11 At Southern Miss, Dr. McIlwain directs all aspects of the trombone studio including The Southern Miss Trombone Choir and Hub Bones (jazz trombone ensemble). The Southern Miss Trombone Choir was invited to perform twice at the 2013 International Trombone Festival in Columbus, GA. He is also a member of the Southern Arts Brass Quintet, the faculty brass quintet at Southern Miss. His primary teachers have included Dr. David Loucky, formerly of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, and Dr. Per Brevig, former Principal Trombonist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, along with Dr. John Drew, professor of trombone at Florida State University. As a Presidential University Fellow at Florida State University, Dr. McIlwain was the first doctoral trombone student and one of two in the entire College of Music at FSU to ever receive this honor. The research for his doctoral treatise titled,“Select Contributions and Commissions in Solo Trombone Repertoire by Trombonist Innovator and Pioneer: Stuart Dempster,” consists of extensive interviews with Stuart Dempster and Pauline Oliveros, among others. He has published articles in the Grove Dictionary for Music and Musicians and the International Trombone Association Journal. Dr. McIlwain has also performed as a guest artist at the International Trombone Festival, the Eastern Trombone Workshop and Trombonapalooza. In addition to the Suggs Endowed Professorship and Lucas Award, Dr. McIlwain has also been awarded the Junior Faculty Creative Achievement Award and the College of Arts and Letters’ Junior Faculty of the Year Award at The University of Southern Mississippi. Mrs. Louise Smith Are National Boards for Me? 3:30 p.m. – 4:20 p.m. Vicksburg Room This clinic will provide information to directors on how to achieve National Boards Certification.

Dr. George Naff Featuring the Oak Grove High School Wind Ensemble Making Music Beautiful: An Aural Approach to Instrumental Music Education 1:30 p.m. – 2:20 p.m. Mississippi Suite Over the last 30+ years Dr. George Naff has developed a unique aural approach to instrumental music education incorporating several of the advanced choral techniques of Zoltan Kodaly. This adaptation began when Dr. Naff was a student of Arpad Darazs, a protégé of Kodaly, and has developed over the years with thousands of band and orchestra students in elementary, high school, university, and honor bands. This is more than a pedagogical method. According to Dr. Naff: It is also a philosophy which embraces the value and the meaning of the music we create. When we look at the process of making music, we realize that we, as teachers, have a unique tool for teaching life lessons. In our culture youngsters are constantly bombarded with the quality versus quantity question. Basically we teach the philosophy that in life as well as in making music, quality should be our priority. Consequently our primary focus is on the quality of sound – on tone, blend, balance, and intonation. As we are helping our students develop facility on their instruments and to learn to read and play accurately, we are always insisting on the beauty of 36 M I S S I S S I P P I B A N D M A S T E R S A S S O C I AT I O N DIRECTOR CLINIC DETAILS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12 the sound, for it is this beauty that makes the music meaningful - how it expresses the way we feel - how it reflects who we really are. When we look at the process of making music, at the elements of music and what we must go through to create them, we see an obvious connection. These creative tasks are more than just musical. They are also the building blocks for a successful, meaningful life. Life lessons that we can teach through music include: • • • • • • sensitivity to beauty, empathy, diversity; receptivity to experiences of all kinds – good and bad; discipline and its relationship to creating beauty, to achieving excellence, and to developing self-esteem; goal setting and its relationship to success and to developing a success identity; motivation; persistence; spirituality in its many forms. Dr. Naff uses solfeggio with the hand signs of John Curwen as well as other kinesthetic aids to help students learn musical fundamentals and to produce a beautiful sound. The students play and sing using progressively challenging exercises to help them develop fully as players and musicians. The goal is that over time, by continually singing and playing the exercises, the students develop an aural concept of scale degree relationships and learn to play in tune. Students learn not only to sing and play musically, they are also invited and encouraged to become conductors using the hand signs. This increases exponentially their motivation and excitement. The workshop provides a short demonstration of the method, and it includes a section for the directors on how to use these exercises for advanced learning – scale degree awareness, scales, modes, voice leading, modulations, just-intonation acoustics, scale degree resolution tendencies, and composition. In addition to these elements of advanced learning, emotive conducting gestures are emphasized and encouraged for the directors to get the most music out of the music! Examples of significant wind literature will be used to demonstrate solfeggio and emotive conducting techniques. Dr. George E. Naff, a former conductor of the Duke University Wind Symphony, is semi-retired as the Director of the Spirit of America National Honor Band and now works as a consultant with bands, orchestras, and choirs, and with groups traveling to Europe. An active arranger/composer and consultant for a number of high school and university bands, his music is published by Matrix Publications and Spirit of America Press. He is a frequent guest conductor and adjudicator for band, orchestral, and choral performances in the eastern United States. Dr. Naff has taught instrumental music on every level, and has served as a clinician for hundreds of groups across the country. A former member of the United States Air Force Band, he also served as a high school band director and as a former director of the Symphonic, Marching, and Stage Bands at East Carolina University and East Tennessee State University. 7 7 T H A N N U A L S T A T E B A N D C L I N I C 37 DIRECTOR CLINIC DETAILS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12 Comments about Dr. Naff: George Naff is one of the great music educators in our country.

The gifts George offered as my teacher remain with me today! Dr. Jack Stamp, Composer/Conductor,Professor and Chair of the Music Department at Indiana University of Pennsylvania The aural experience and its pedagogy is the most difficult of all music teaching, but is imperative for musical success.

He combines his own approach with elements of the Kodaly system, and the results begin immediately. Dr. W. Francis McBeth, Composer/Conductor George Naff is one of the most knowledgeable, talented, creative, and compassionate people I have known.

More undergraduate students from Mississippi attend MSU than any other university in the state, and MSU continues to attract the best and brightest students, with this year’s freshman class posting the highest average ACT score in the state of Mississippi. The Wall Street Journal also recently reported that Mississippi State has the highest return on educational investment in the state, which is an indication of the quality academic programs available to all of its students. The Department of Music at Mississippi State has a long tradition of excellence in providing outstanding instruction to both music majors and non-music majors alike. Our roster of talented faculty members works hard to help students meet their musical goals, whatever they may be. One of the primary missions of the Department of Music is to prepare quality music educators for the state and region, but in addition, our graduates are enjoying success in a wide range of musical careers throughout the United States. The Wind Ensemble is the premiere instrumental student ensemble at Mississippi State University. Membership is extended to the most advanced musicians by competitive audition, regardless of university major. This select group represents the musical student leadership of the band program and performs in both the Fall and Spring semesters. Members aspire to elevate individual and collective musicianship and strengthen performance skills. The ensemble has a tradition of musical excellence and is committed to playing the finest new works along with the traditional masterpieces of the past. In addition to multiple campus performances each year, the Wind Ensemble conducts a regional performance tour annually. The band has been the featured university band at the Mississippi Bandmasters Association Convention on several occasions and also for the Mississippi All-State Concert Band. The Wind Ensemble has also served as music ambassadors for Mississippi State in international performance tours of the British Isles (2008), Germany and Austria (2011), and Italy (2014). The band program at Mississippi State University was initiated in 1902 by an act of the Board of Trustees. Today, over 112 years later, nearly 400 students participate in the band’s seven major ensembles. The 300+ member Famous Maroon Band performs at Bulldog football games as well as other university functions as needed. Four concert bands comprise the concert component of the band program with the Wind Ensemble serving as the premiere concert band. Students may also participate in jazz band and basketball pep band in addition to marching and concert bands.
