As we look toward the Labor Day weekend and the beginning of September, we're already fully at work here in the Hayes School, with concerts, presentations, exams, and other musical activities to start soon. The HSoM once again counts just under 500 majors and nearly four times that number of non-majors who participate in ensembles and other music courses.

Many thanks go out to Kim Wangler for coordinating us, Geoff Graham for securing the Hayes property for us, Brent Bingham and Kevin Richardson for moving tables, Linda Larson for leading our singing, and all for bringing international culinary delights! It was a great start for the semester.
With best wishes for the third week of the 2016-17 academic year,

**Please send information about upcoming off-campus performances and presentations by faculty and students. I'll include them in this "HSoM On the Road..." section.
