I hope to see many of you at tonight's benefit concert at 7:30 PM in Crowder Hall at The University of Arizona's Fred Fox School of Music!  If you go: Even if you cannot donate, you are still welcome to attend tonight's concert! However, free-will donations will be collected at the door before the event and during intermission. Morgen Hartford, Regional Director of the Southern Arizona's Alzheimer's Association, will be in attendance to collect donations and issue receipts to all donors. Please arrive early as the lines may get long as 7:30 approaches! It is easiest to park in the "Park Avenue Garage" and to walk to the Fred Fox School of Music via the underpass that leads underneath Speedway.

Final PreparationsWhen searching for the perfect date for my final recital, I chose March 22nd since I knew it would be the week after my spring break. The original plan was to dedicate the entirety of the week for final preparations and to rest a lot before the big event. However, when the Louisiana Philharmonic invited me to come perform as extra percussionist in New Orleans for my spring break, I quickly accepted the gig and found other, more "portable" ways to practice my recital repertoire.
Recent Media CoverageFor every hour I spent in the practice room, shedding the actual notes for my recital, I probably spent an additional hour on my laptop and phone, managing the many logistical aspects of the event. Within the past month of preparing this concert, I sent a couple hundred emails. Although only a percentage of my inquiries received a response, I was extremely persistent and was lucky to connect with many news organizations that were extremely willing to help promote my event!
