- If you are someone who performed on a school owned marching brass instrument, please take a moment to clear out your flipfolder and any personal items from your instrument case, store your Sousaphone in the proper case (check serial number on the valve casings with the number on your case). Pick up of these instruments will be THIS FRIDAY for maintenance and any needed repairs; this is necessary to get them back in time for the last day "reading session" and any summer checkouts prior to summer rehearsals beginning in July.

Phi Beta Mu Concert Festival
Symphonic I Only
The Official Schedule
Phi Beta Mu Invitational Concert Festival
Saturday, March 14th, 2020
Male High School, Louisville
You will need:
Concert attire. Gentlemen: I would suggest laundering your tux shirt on Thursday night after our Festival concert performance so you can look (and smell) your best!
$$ for lunch at Mall St. Matthews
The clinic session with a notable University conductor and a chance to hear groups we rarely have an opportunity to listen to are what makes this festival unique. It is also a great opportunity for them to hear YOU, and to perform our festival selections in a non-adjudicated event before we have our KMEA Assessment on the 20th.
Please be a GREAT audience for other groups performing (put away your cell phone, no conversations while bands perform, etc.)—you would expect the same from them!
