>> Dear Brass Aficionados,
>>
>> A yearly tradition: my mass-mailing about Summit Brass's Rafael  
>> Mendez Brass Institute.  Thanks for receiving this and for  
>> forwarding it to your brass-interested friends, colleagues and  
>> students.
>>
>> This is one of my favorite weeks of the whole year, being together  
>> with such a group of great brass artists, the high level of student  
>> talent, artist-faculty recitals, master classes and career seminars,  
>> daily coaching of student chamber groups, daily open rehearsals with  
>> Summit Brass, the absolutely superb facilities of the Lamont School  
>> of Music, and more.  In addition to all of that, new features this  
>> year are:
>>
>> - The scholarships have been continued, adjusted slightly to enable  
>> a smaller enrollment (better teacher/student ratio).
>> - The new midday communal lunch will offer more interaction with  
>> faculty and fellow students.
>>
>> Further details are in Al Hood's email below.  An application form  
>> is attached.  Complete info is available at http://www.mendezbrassinstitute.com/
>>
>> Contact me if you have questions.  Thanks for your interest - I hope  
>> to see many of you there again, and look forward to meeting new  
>> players, too!

>>> Subject: 2009 RMBI application & flyer
>>>
>>> Hello All!
>>>
>>> I trust you are all well and will be enjoying some holiday cheer  
>>> soon!
>>>
>>> We are ready to take applicants for this year's RMBI, which will be  
>>> from July 12-18 at the University of Denver once again.  An updated  
>>> pdf flyer is attached with full information and an application.   
>>> Please forward this to your e-mail list and to students and  
>>> colleagues everywhere!  Please note the following changes from last  
>>> year:
>>>
>>> *The price (after the scholarship is applied) is $225 - this is  
>>> what they will need to send in with their applications.  There are  
>>> 3 reasons for this:
>>>
>>> 1) The cost to me of renting Gates Hall has risen significantly
>>> 2) We are accepting less students (160, as opposed to 205 last  
>>> summer)
>>> 3) We are including a "communal" lunch for everyone (faculty  
>>> included and welcome!) in the lobby daily.  Please emphasize this  
>>> point with the students - it will be great for institute  
>>> cameraderie and more convenient to the schedule we keep!
>>>
>>> Deadline for applying is February 15th once again (though we  
>>> normally do take some stragglers beyond that!)
>>>
>>> This will be up on the web site shortly (MendezBrassInstitute.com)  
>>> and will be e-mailed to all former participants.  Happy recruiting  
>>> and e-mail or call if you or your students have any questions or  
>>> concerns.
>>>
>>> Happy Holidays!
