Each year this conference is Mr. Holl's school. He attends classes and seminars to find out what is new and exciting the field of music that he can bring home to share with his students. This year Mr. Holl attended 12 sessions and 6 concerts. Jazz with Doug Goodkin, drumming with Jim Solomon, movement with Christa Coogan, process with Rienhold Wirsching, and dances with marimbas with Gary King highlighted this year's conference. The most fun of the week was the performance of "See Dees " and "Cantique Exotique " from Mr. Holl's new book, Ensemble, on Thursday at the noon concert.
