Hello family and friends!

We are writing with a special request from you from this holiday season. We have talked as a family, and decided that instead of any gifts this year, we could use money so much more. Daniel has been given some incredible, once in a lifetime opportunities in his band adventures that we just cannot afford right now. He recently tried out and was accepted to this international Band Clinic:

What is WIBC?

The Western International Band Clinic is a convention for directors and students. Started in 1979, WIBC features four 150-member high school honor bands under six world-renowned guest conductors and a soloist. Held in Seattle, Washington each November, students from the United States, Canada and Australia participate in the honor band event. In 2013, a college honor band, WIBC U, was also added. Honor Band audition material can be found at the WIBC Audition Page.

In addition to the honor bands, a weekend of clinics and sightreading band of new music are scheduled for participating directors. More information can be found on the WIBC page.

This goes to say that we are not expecting moneteray gifts, however, we would be eternally grateful.

We thank you for your consideration and hope that Daniel, and hopefully we, are able to attend this event with him!

Derrick & Steffani
