The End.

Just kidding. Dr. Teweleit has some pictures of our guest artist this week, Mr. John Tegmeyer. Tarpley Music, which has stores in Amarillo, Lubbock, Pampa, Clovis, Wichita Falls, San Angelo, Waco, has partnered with the band camp with financial support that made Mr. Tegmeyer's visit possible.

John is a WT graduate and now lives in Los Angeles, California. He makes his living playing in film, studio recordings, and freelance.

All of the clarinet students at camp will spend time with him once this week during the sectional time.

A picture or two of the honor band rehearsal.

High school assembly. I don't have any idea what they are doing.

John will perform with the directors band in the Thursday concert for the campers.

Now I'm finished for real.
