for middle and high school music educators.  David Biedenbender  
(www.davidbiedenbender.com), a talented composer and conductor, will  
be our guest. The new festival schedule for students will feature  
masterclasses with UMass faculty, a concert by the UMass Wind  
Ensemble, and a forum to interact with UMass music students. Lunch  
will also be provided.
