Dear Colleagues of the American Bandmasters Association,
We hope that you will join us in beautiful and sunny Miami, Florida
this March for the 74th Annual Conference of the American Bandmasters
Association. Spring is a great time to be in Miami where you can enjoy
the natural wonders and excitement of our city.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the members of the ABA for agreeing
to come to Miami for the conference and to the 2008 Conference Program
Committee, the Board of Directors, and our Miami ABA Host Committee.
All have given immeasurable hours and full commitment in planning this
very important event.
I hope that you will mark your calendar and register online for this
year’s conference. I know that you will enjoy the conference and all
that Miami has to offer! We look forward to seeing you in our newly
remodeled Henry Fillmore Band Hall this spring.
Best wishes,
Gary Green
