about

It was another fabulous and joyous season for YJED. In our second season post-pandemic, I can truly say that everything is "back to normal". Special thanks to our guest artists Matt Shevitz and Roger Ingram. Their professionalism, talent, and insight provided inspiration and motivation for my students. Thank you both.

Thank you to good friends Mark Alder for his writing and computer skills and to Judi Jenz for her treasurer activities and legal support. To Don Reese for his stylish album art design.

To my wonderful students and their families, THANK YOU for your dedication and love for the ensemble. You guys are the best and make YJED a true joy to teach.

Thank you to the high school band directors of these students. Your support of our program is greatly appreciated.

Let's Begin the Beguine,
Robert
