Greetings Everyone!
This past year has been really enjoyable for me. When I first arrived at Kent State University, I never thought I would ever join a student organization, let alone be the leader of one. This is my final official message as president of the KSU Chapter of OCMEA.
Whilst in my office, the one thing I wanted to always do was to have an event when all the student organisations worked together to better music. Last night, that dream finally came true with the first all student ran reading band. I have the photos up on Facebook, and hope to have a few up on the blog later this afternoon.
It is my hope that OCMEA continues to work with all the other organizations in the School of Music. It is my hope that last night's reading band is just the beginning of a long partnership between all of the groups. It is also my hope that the chapter will continue to grow and get involved in more activities as a whole.
I would like to thank all my friends and colleagues for pushing me through this semester. There hasn't been one person who hasn't been there to help when I asked for it. You are all wonderful people and musicians.
I will be around for another year, so if you ever need a friend, do not be afraid to say hi!
Thank you all again for a WONDERFUL experience,
John
