<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>Scott is obviously a top-tier presenter and clinician. I do
support this proposal, but perhaps it is not necessary....Could we
bring him in to be the MASTA headliner and also direct the
teacher's orchestra? Perhaps we could have him do 3 conference
sessions and the orchestra. When I directed the orchestra in 2013
I don't recall if there was a separate honorarium from the one I
received to be the MASTA Headliner. I did 4 sessions and conducted
the orchestra. It was a bit much. Three sessions may be better if
he will also be conducting.<br>
</p>
<p>Moving forward, at the next board meeting we should discuss if we
want an additional line item on the annual MASTA budget to support
bringing in an out-of-state conductor for the MASTA Teacher's
Orchestra. Personally, I liked that we were selecting the
conductor from within our own state, but I could also see
combining it with the MASTA Conference Headliner. All the
headliners from the past several years - Bergonzi, Woolstenhulme,
Meyer - would have been great directing the orchestra.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Mike<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope you are well! Just wanted to
check in to ensure that you received the
previous email with an attached grant
proposal. Is this something you feel the
board might consider? Do you need
anything submitted in another format or
a different approach to be considered?
Thanks for any thoughts you may have.</div>

Best,</div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Janis,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope you are well. Attached
is a proposal for a "special
grant" with MASTA. I have spoken
with Abby Alwin about the grants
available and unfortunately this
project doesn't fall cleanly into
either of the categories yet
greatly encompasses elements of
both. Can you please let me know
if you feel this is something
MASTA would consider voting on?</div>
<div><br>

<div>Thank you!</div>
