I’m thrilled to announce that our friend, Travis Cross, who was our guest conductor in March, 2011 and composed Let the Amen Sound, which we performed this past November in memory of Bob Wanninger, has accepted the position of WInd Ensemble Director at the Herb Albert School of Music at UCLA! He is sad to be leaving Virginia Tech, but this is a tremendous step for him. We know Travis as a gifted conductor, teacher, and composer. Please join me in congratulating him!
