Congratulations to your students who were selected for the 2007 Michigan Youth Arts Festival.  I will be attending MYAF this Thursday – Saturday as a representative from our district.   Paul DeRubeis has asked that students be reminded to bring with them all necessary materials including extra reeds, oil, mutes, and mallets & sticks for percussionists.  Also, remind students that they must be present for all activities during the length of the festival.
