I have just learned this morning that there is one
opening in the instrumental group at the Tennessee
Arts Academy this summer. If you would like to have
it, email me ASAP at
fullercon@fssd.org.
The dates of this year's Academy, held at Belmont
University, are July 13 - July 18. The instrumental
clinician is Gary Green of the University of Miami.
The registration fee is $185.00 and that includes
breakfast and lunch every day, reception on Sunday,
July 13, and banquet on Wednesday night, a T-shirt
and tote bag with all kinds of good musical stuff
that you can use (as suggested by the clinicians.)
The other clinician you would also work with is Jeff
Bush, of Arizona State University, a percussionist
whose specialty is general music.
Don't delay if you are interested- get in touch with
me immediately. You don't want to miss this
opportunity!
Thanks,
Connie Fuller

a host of other talented artists will offer
performances and workshops throughout the week. An

Message from Krystle Jones :
About a month ago, both my flute and my
piccolo were stolen from my
locker at school. The police have no leads
because there were no witnesses,
as far as we know, and no cameras (although
we are 90% sure it was
targeted). They have not shown up in pawn
shop lists, and they are not for
sale at online merchants such as Ebay. They
believe they are being used by
someone.
I have both serial #'s:
The flute is a Powell Sonare- SF7000
Model/Serial # S070386
My piccolo is made out of beautiful, dark
brown Ironwood. It is a Boston
Legacy made by Emerson. It's Serial # is
506.
Thank you,
Krystle Jones
