  2. This is sad news for the ASBDA family. Many excellent Band Directors have passed, but one hopes the new generations will march forward with quality and dignity.

    Off this topic. I have e-mailed twice that my address (and state of residence) has changed and have received no response. Can someone contact me by e-mail and "address" my changes?
