ANNOUNCEMENTS: |
Editor's Bit of Filler Fluff:
I just want to (re)encourage everyone to come on down to the Warm-Up Picnic. The slate of workshop leaders is super, and the variety of instruments being taught has never been more extensive, to my knowledge. It's our club's outreach to the whole of south central Kansas and also the festival community and its attendees from far and wide. So put on your yellow shirt and come on down for a great day!!
