Meeting at Midwest Conference - Custom Tours and Ticheli Festival

Dear Friend

 It is that time of year again when many of us will be heading to Chicago for the Midwest Band and Orchestra Conference.

I will be there all day Thursday the 18th and Friday morning the 19th.

Please let me know if you are coming and if you have time to meet to discuss any of our international custom performance tour options or the Ticheli Festival in Spain, June 2016. Frank has offered to make time on Thursday to meet Directors interested in the Spain festival.

Let me know if you can meet and we will arrange a rendezvous point at McCormick Place.

I have included updated KI information below.

Best wishes

Oliver Scofield
