Introduction Good afternoon from hot and sunny West Texas!

I'm a small school band director - been teaching 30 years. I've played sax since 5th grade - still play in some local jazz bands. Looking for ideas for an upcoming Saxophone Camp I'm teaching in a few weeks. Very impressed with the site and with some of the threads I've read.

Big welcome here!

I think we should have a competition to guess your first name (whilst of course respecting your privacy rights).

Bill is where my money is, I like the sound of Bill Tillman.

Welcome aboard from North of Key Largo.
A buddy from Texas, fell off his horse, back in the '60s, in Evergreen Colorado.
The rancher told us that the horses hadn't been out all Winter, and the Texan said, "Texans are born in the saddle".
Even the Pinto laughed.
It would be helpful to know the playing level of the students.

Thanks for welcome notes.

[ADMIN EDIT: moved the saxophone camp info to its own thread in the playing subforum here]
Looking forward to learning a lot here!
BRIAN Tillman, Mertzon Texas.
(The guess for "Bill" was funny - I've been called that a lot. I think there was a Bill Tillman's Jazz Club in the DFW area during the 90's/2000's...)

BRIAN Tillman, Mertzon Texas.

You win the prize! (But I'm sure people will say it was rigged).

I'll split the posts about the Jazz camp off to the Playing forum where it will get the best replies.

I study saxophone at TTU in Lubbock! Great to see another Texas representative here!

I'm a Texas rep in that my wife is/was a Texan. But by now she may have forgotten the Alamo, I'll need to ask her.

Welcome, didn't know where Mertzon was, I am in Las Cruces NM frequently playing in Paso.

Hi welcome. Hot and sunny? Nope, don't recognise that combination of words... Up here in NW England I'm nearly at 55N and the weather is currently uncooperative and decided it's April rather than July. Today's forecast is cloud all day and maximum temperature of 14C with a stiff breeze.
