From Don Lowe - ANNOUNCEMENT - 04/06/07 - Dr. David Romines has requested to step down from the Directorship of the Redcoat Marching Band. I have accepted his request and as of today, April 6, 2007, I am appointing Mr. Tom Keck as the Interim Director of the Redcoat Marching Band. I know that all of you join with me in thanking Dr. Romines for his service as director and for the many successes the Redcoats have enjoyed under his leadership. I also wish to express my appreciation to Mr. Keck for agreeing to assume this important leadership role.

From Steve Dancz - Dear friends, As I was planning my pilgrimage to Tibet several years ago with my teacher Glenn Mullin, I called my good friend, filmmaker Michael Wiese, to see if he would like to make the trip. Much to my delight, he quickly said yes. I think the speed of his decision was partly due to the fact that he had turned me down when I had invited him to accompany me to India when I was invited by His Holiness to perform in the first World Festival of Sacred Music. I tell you this because it's not everyday that these trips get made, and it's certainly notevery trip that you are accompanied by a filmmaker of Michael's ability and background. It's also not every day that your trip is guided by someone whose understanding of Tibetan culture, language and Tibetan Buddhism goes to the depths of Glenn Mullin's. I am so grateful that these two friends were involved in this journey and now you can enjoy the experience as well. 'd like for you to know about the upcoming screenings of our film for which I composed the score and also serve as narrator. We plan to release the soundtrack in the near future via iTunes.
