Hi Curt – OK, not sure if you remember me or not. I was a clarinet player at NVRHS in Demarest. My name is Val Lewis, well, Val Wisniewski now that I’m married. I think my step mom, Diane, even worked with you at some point. Anyway, I’m living in Milwaukee now. My 9th grade daughter received an invitation for the national honors band. I wasn’t familiar with the organization and was looking through the info and saw your name as one of the conductors. Just thought I would reach out and say hello! Hope you are doing well. Looks like life is busy.
Great to hear from you! I’ve thought about you and Diane so often over the years!
Yes, I’m about to conduct my second festival with Honors Performance Series/Worldstrides, and it’s a great festival. It is very well run and organized, and the chaperones are great supervising and supporting the students. I recommend it highly!
