I want to send out best wishes to everyone that attended and those who
competed at the NABBA championships this past weekend.  There was a lot of very fine
playing.  The standards seem to go up every year, but it seems to me that
this year they took a significant leap in every division.  There are several
bands in both Challenge and Honors that should be competing in Championship.  And
the standards of the Championship division continue to rise, with several
bands that are very competitive for the top award.  I think this is fantastic and
a very exciting time to be a part of American brass banding.

New England was very impressive and took home a well-deserved victory in the
Challenge division.  You guys are a class act in every way.

Sunshine Brass deserves high praise for a second place finish in their very
first year in the Honors Division.  I have always loved your musicality and was
happy to see your success.  I also want to send my congratulations to James
Madison U on their Honors title.  It is so great to see an organization come in
with both barrels blazing, so to speak!  You are setting new standards for us
all.  Bravo.

Congratulations to all the bands in the Championship division.  The
competition here was very intense.  My best wishes to all of you and I really enjoyed
hearing what each band brought to the table.

Just wondering what the latest party was?  Chicago's was running till at
least 3am ... !

Regards to all,

Amy Nelson
Chicago
