Re: Finale is Dead - You Must Switch to Dorico

And here I was, stupidly hoping that they would stop with all the STUPID feature additions and for once… JUST ONCE… focus on fixing some decades-old bugs that have pissed off the professional user base forever. Nope. I have used Finale since version 2.5 I sti ...

VW Tuba concerto with Wind Band

Does anyone know of an arrangement of the Vaughan Williams Concerto for Band accompaniment and where it can be purchased/rented? One of the schools I work with wants to play it.

Good luck with your sale!
They're kicking his dog because he's trying to find a rube to pay more than it's worth.

2022 SWTEC program

Does anyone have a PDF or a physical copy of the 2022 SWTEC program that they could send me? The full program never made it to the website. It’s for a research project my GA is doing. I’d be more than happy to cover postage.

Thanks,

Re: ITEC 2023 Proposals

I guess I just don’t get this approach. Not everyone will get picked. They have to balance the program some way. Their goals/focus shift from year to year.
