2014 - Mississippi Bandmasters Association
PRESIDENT’S WELCOME
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Mississippi Bandmasters Association
Executive Board, it is my pleasure to welcome you to
Natchez and the 77th Annual State Band Clinic. It is our
hope that you will find this weekend beneficial in many ways.
To the students in attendance, congratulations on your
selection to this prestigious event. Over the past 77 years,
literally thousands of young people just like you have
had experiences like this that have impacted them for
a lifetime. Many of the people that you may see this
weekend have made lifetime friendships at this event.
Additionally, our hope for you is that you get to experience music making in ways you
never have before. We also hope you will take your experiences home with you in an
effort to lead your home band to higher levels. Your directors think very highly of you
to nominate you for this clinic. Thank them by making the most of this opportunity. We
also hope you will take time to meet with our exhibitors during your break times and
discover things that may make you a better musician and increase your love of music.
Let me also encourage our membership to be the most gracious of hosts to the
exhibitors, clinicians, and other visitors to this unique event. While we enjoy this time
to unwind and renew friendships, let us also remember that this is a weekend of
opportunity. Please take every opportunity to meet with our exhibitors and hear what
they have to offer. Make a special effort to hear what our presenters suggest to us in
an effort to make our jobs easier and our students more productive. Take time to lend
an ear to a younger teacher who may need your particular brand of expertise.
We offer a special welcome to our guest clinicians, exhibitors, ensembles, and
conductors. The directors and students of our state are deeply indebted to you for
your expertise and your willingness to share with us. If there is a way we can make
your stay a more enjoyable one, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you to the Natchez Convention Center, the Natchez Grand Hotel, the Natchez
Chamber of Commerce, and all the good people here in Natchez for your hospitality
and support. A special thanks goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Rigdon for making this clinic run
smoothly; to my wife, Andrea, and son, Lee, for understanding the commitment and
time required to serve this great association; to my partners in crime, the executive
board, for having my back; and to the body of the MBA, thank you for entrusting me
with this great responsibility. As I retire from band directing, I am confident that this
facet of education is standing on solid ground due to the capacity of knowledge,
comradery, and skill set of the great band directors of Mississippi.
Best Wishes,
Sid McNeil

2013 PHI BETA MU
OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTOR
Thomas V. Fraschillo, DMA, has served as catalyst and
mentor for the teaching profession for 46 years. His
high standards of performance have had a sustained
influence on ensembles at every level, and his
performances serve as models in both the professional
or academic arena. Through his recordings, The Music
of Luigi Zaninelli and The University of Southern Mississippi
Wind Ensemble LIVE IN ITALY (recorded in Italy), and
his publishing, conducting, and lecturing in the United
States, Europe, Asia, and Australia, he is considered an
international musician/scholar. His publications, translations
from the original Italian of Alessandro Vessella’s Studi
di strumentazione (Instrumentation Studies), and La
THOMAS V. FRASCHILLO Tecnica dell’orchestra contemporanea (The Technique
of Contemporary Orchestration) by Alfredo Casella and Vittorio Mortari, both published
by BMG Ricordi, Milan, have put his name in libraries of the entire English speaking world.
As a writer/scholar Dr. Fraschillo is a contributing editor to the American Grove Dictionary,
2nd Edition and serves as a frequent conductor and lecturer in Italy. His most recent
appearances in Italy have been with La Banda dell’esercito/The Italian Army Band in
Rome. One of his most significant engagements with them signaled a very important
milestone for the Italian Army in that Dr. Fraschillo was the first American-born conductor
to have been invited to appear in a public performance by what is considered Italy’s
most prestigious military concert band. The concert with Dr. Fraschillo conducting was
the opening concert of the International Festival in Spoleto,“The Festival of Two Worlds,
Festival dei due mondi.” His appearance was enormously significant for conductors
of bands in that the opening performance featured such international artists as Gian
Carlo Menotti, the renowned composer, the Orchestra and Giuseppe Verdi Chorus of
Milan, and the Italian actress, Claudia Cardinale. Finally, in Italy Dr. Fraschillo often serves
as a member of the judging panel for many international festivals, most notably the
Concorso Internazionale di Composizione “R. Marenco” di Novi Ligure, and the Concorso
Internazionale di Composizione Originale per Banda di Corciano.
Aside from Dr. Fraschillo’s work in Europe, he is often engaged throughout the continents
of Asia, and Australia. The Melbourne, Australia, Summer Youth Music Program has invited
Dr. Fraschillo to be their guest conductor for their summer session for five years. In addition
the Australian Band and Orchestra Directors Association has invited him to lecture and
to adjudicate at their large ensemble festivals. Dr. Fraschillo’s other work in the Pacific Rim
includes having served as clinician and guest conductor of the Central Armed Forces
Band in Singapore and as conductor of the Singapore All-College Band sponsored by
the Wind Band Association of Singapore. In 2009 and 2010 Dr. Fraschillo served as Artistic
Director for the weeklong Winter Band Festival at Disney, Hong Kong.
Dr. Fraschillo has recently been recognized by election to the National Band
Association’s Hall of Fame of Distinguished Conductors, a distinct honor that recognizes
his lengthy career as a public school, university, and professional conductor.
Dr. Fraschillo devoted a significant amount of his career to the education of young people
in Mississippi. For example his ten-year tenure at Meridian High School was highlighted by
a performance at the Midwest Clinic in Chicago, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious
music event for wind and string educators. The invitation was only the second to have
been given to a band from Mississippi. Dr. Fraschillo’s Meridian students obtained successes
not before reached, for he taught and helped place the first African-American students in
the Mississippi All-State Band. Not only were they among the first minority members, but they
were also the first African-Americans to attain the very highest positions in the group.
Dr. Fraschillo has attained a significant level in the realm of international leadership
in that he serves as a past president of the prestigious American Bandmasters
Association, past president of the world’s largest organization for band directors, the
National Band Association, and President of the CBDNA Southern Division.

PHI BETA MU HALL OF FAME
In 1990 the Delta chapter of Phi Beta Mu International Bandmasters Fraternity and
the Mississippi Bandmasters Association formed a Hall of Fame to honor our most
outstanding retired band directors. The membership of the Delta chapter felt that it
was most appropriate to recognize the efforts of these “legendary” music directors.

A. E. McCLAIN OUTSTANDING YOUNG
BAND DIRECTOR AWARD
Alfred E. “Bill” McClain, Tennessee band director and music educator for many years,
collapsed and died of a heart attack while judging the 1979 Mississippi High School

Mr. McClain taught and directed band in the Memphis and Shelby County school
systems at Millington, Bartlett, Central, Trezevant and Overton High Schools, and

THE EDYTHE M. MCARTHUR WOMEN’S MUSIC
EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD
From her humble beginnings as a full time student and part time band director in
Taylorsville in the late 1950’s, through the magnificent Henderson (Starkville) Junior
High Bands of the mid 1970’s to her small but immaculately taught West Point Junior
High Band’s of the early 90’s, (about which she often commented that this was
where she did her best teaching), Edythe McArthur was the unquestioned pioneer
for women music educators in Mississippi.
While she never considered herself a women-libber, Mrs. Mac paved the way for
future generations of women in music education not simply by being one the first
women in what was at that time a male dominated profession, but by being the
consummate professional, master teacher and a lady in the truest since of the word
that she was.
Qualifications:
Nominees must have no less than ten years active service to Instrumental Music
Education in the State of Mississippi.
Nominees must have a prolific, documentable record of Instrumental Music
Education success in the public schools of Mississippi. (Documentation shall not be
limited to contest ratings, though concrete evidence is advantageous.)
Nominees must have made significant documentable contributions to Instrumental
Music Education in the State of Mississippi, be it through state office, state and
region committee membership, continual mentorship or similar contributions
Nominees must have consistently demonstrated the highest in professional and
personal ethics through both word and deed.

Dr. Ben McIlwain
Slurring with Slides: The Pedagogy of Legato Trombone
2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
St. Francisville Room
One of the most misunderstood topics in trombone pedagogy is playing legato on
the instrument. To tongue or not to tongue? Our valved-brass cousins blow through
legato passages and let the valves naturally provide diction to the notes under the slur.
However, trombones are blessed (or cursed!) with a slide, which complicates matters.
This clinic will provide some background on the issue, methods of approach as both an
educator and performer, along with some trouble-shooting solutions.
Dr. Ben McIlwain joined the faculty of The University of Southern Mississippi in the fall
of 2010 and was named the Nina Bells Suggs Endowed Professor of Trombone in May
of 2014. He holds degrees from Middle Tennessee State University (B.M.), Manhattan
School of Music (M.M.) and The Florida State University (D.M.)
One of Dr. McIlwain’s main passions and research interests is supporting new music for
the trombone. As of June 2014, Dr. McIlwain has commissioned nineteen new works for
trombone solo and/or ensemble. This includes compositions for his group, Tromboteam,
which successfully funded a Kickstarter.com campaign in 2012 that raised $10,000 for
new works for trombone ensemble including composers James Kazik, Kevin McKee and
Alan Theisen to name a few. Tromboteam is set to release their debut album containing
all nine of these Kickstarter.com funded commissions in the fall of 2014. This recording is
funded by a Scholarly and Creative Arts Grant provided by the College of Arts and Letters.
After being awarded the Aubrey Keith Lucas and Ella Ginn Lucas Endowment for Faculty
Excellence, Dr. McIlwain was able to fund a new concerto for trombone and orchestra by
Russian composer, Polina Nazaykinskaya. In addition, the composer has agreed that this
piece will be written in memory of McIlwain’s former student Gustavo Campos Cassemiro,
who lost his battle with cancer on December 4, 2013. The title of this work will be: Concerto
for Trombone and Orchestra, In Memoriam to Gustavo Campos Cassemiro. Premiere
performances include with the Southern Miss Symphony Orchestra in February 2015 and
with the U.S. Pershing’s Own at the American Trombone Workshop in March 2015.
In addition to these commissioning and performance opportunities, Dr. McIlwain has
been active in service to the International Trombone Association. The President of
the International Trombone Association, Jiggs Whigham, appointed him, Director
of TAPAS. This newly-formed project (Trombone Artists Performing for Amateurs
and Students) aims to double the membership of the ITA over the next two years
through a heavy marketing campaign. Also, Dr. McIlwain serves as a coordinator for
the state (US) and international representatives of TAPAS.

At Southern Miss, Dr. McIlwain directs all aspects of the trombone studio including The
Southern Miss Trombone Choir and Hub Bones (jazz trombone ensemble). The Southern
Miss Trombone Choir was invited to perform twice at the 2013 International Trombone
Festival in Columbus, GA. He is also a member of the Southern Arts Brass Quintet, the
faculty brass quintet at Southern Miss. His primary teachers have included Dr. David
Loucky, formerly of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, and Dr. Per Brevig, former Principal
Trombonist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, along with Dr. John Drew, professor of
trombone at Florida State University.
As a Presidential University Fellow at Florida State University, Dr. McIlwain was the first doctoral
trombone student and one of two in the entire College of Music at FSU to ever receive this
honor. The research for his doctoral treatise titled,“Select Contributions and Commissions in
Solo Trombone Repertoire by Trombonist Innovator and Pioneer: Stuart Dempster,” consists
of extensive interviews with Stuart Dempster and Pauline Oliveros, among others. He has
published articles in the Grove Dictionary for Music and Musicians and the International
Trombone Association Journal. Dr. McIlwain has also performed as a guest artist at the
International Trombone Festival, the Eastern Trombone Workshop and Trombonapalooza.
In addition to the Suggs Endowed Professorship and Lucas Award, Dr. McIlwain has also
been awarded the Junior Faculty Creative Achievement Award and the College of
Arts and Letters’ Junior Faculty of the Year Award at The University of Southern Mississippi.

Recent studies show that the average career span of a teacher in today’s
educational environment is only 5 years and the average career span of a band
director is only 4½ years. Why do so many promising teachers leave our field after
only a few short years? This clinic is designed to help Band Directors, both young and
old, avoid many of the common challenges encountered during their career. Clinic
attendees will gain a “real-world” working knowledge of skills and strategies that will
assist them in meeting those challenges while developing a high quality program and
avoiding burn-out. All of the suggestions and strategies presented come from the
clinicians’ combined 56 years of public school band directing experience.

Dr. George Naff
Featuring the Oak Grove High School Wind Ensemble
Making Music Beautiful:
An Aural Approach to Instrumental Music Education
1:30 p.m. – 2:20 p.m.
Mississippi Suite
Over the last 30+ years Dr. George Naff has developed a unique aural approach
to instrumental music education incorporating several of the advanced choral
techniques of Zoltan Kodaly. This adaptation began when Dr. Naff was a student
of Arpad Darazs, a protégé of Kodaly, and has developed over the years with
thousands of band and orchestra students in elementary, high school, university, and
honor bands. This is more than a pedagogical method. According to Dr. Naff:
It is also a philosophy which embraces the value and the meaning of the music
we create. When we look at the process of making music, we realize that we, as
teachers, have a unique tool for teaching life lessons. In our culture youngsters are
constantly bombarded with the quality versus quantity question. Basically we teach
the philosophy that in life as well as in making music, quality should be our priority.
Consequently our primary focus is on the quality of sound – on tone, blend, balance,
and intonation. As we are helping our students develop facility on their instruments
and to learn to read and play accurately, we are always insisting on the beauty of
36

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12
the sound, for it is this beauty that makes the music meaningful - how it expresses the
way we feel - how it reflects who we really are.
When we look at the process of making music, at the elements of music and what
we must go through to create them, we see an obvious connection. These creative
tasks are more than just musical. They are also the building blocks for a successful,
meaningful life. Life lessons that we can teach through music include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
sensitivity to beauty, empathy, diversity;
receptivity to experiences of all kinds – good and bad;
discipline and its relationship to creating beauty, to achieving excellence,
and to developing self-esteem;
goal setting and its relationship to success and to developing a success identity;
motivation; persistence;
spirituality in its many forms.
Dr. Naff uses solfeggio with the hand signs of John Curwen as well as other
kinesthetic aids to help students learn musical fundamentals and to produce
a beautiful sound. The students play and sing using progressively challenging
exercises to help them develop fully as players and musicians.
The goal is that over time, by continually singing and playing the exercises, the
students develop an aural concept of scale degree relationships and learn to play
in tune. Students learn not only to sing and play musically, they are also invited
and encouraged to become conductors using the hand signs. This increases
exponentially their motivation and excitement.
The workshop provides a short demonstration of the method, and it includes a
section for the directors on how to use these exercises for advanced learning –
scale degree awareness, scales, modes, voice leading, modulations, just-intonation
acoustics, scale degree resolution tendencies, and composition.
In addition to these elements of advanced learning, emotive conducting gestures
are emphasized and encouraged for the directors to get the most music out of the
music! Examples of significant wind literature will be used to demonstrate solfeggio
and emotive conducting techniques.
Dr. George E. Naff, a former conductor of the Duke University Wind Symphony, is
semi-retired as the Director of the Spirit of America National Honor Band and now
works as a consultant with bands, orchestras, and choirs, and with groups traveling
to Europe. An active arranger/composer and consultant for a number of high
school and university bands, his music is published by Matrix Publications and Spirit
of America Press. He is a frequent guest conductor and adjudicator for band,
orchestral, and choral performances in the eastern United States.
Dr. Naff has taught instrumental music on every level, and has served as a clinician
for hundreds of groups across the country. A former member of the United States Air
Force Band, he also served as a high school band director and as a former director
of the Symphonic, Marching, and Stage Bands at East Carolina University and East
Tennessee State University.

offered as my teacher remain with me today!
Dr. Jack Stamp,

The aural experience and its pedagogy is the most difficult of all music teaching,
but is imperative for musical success. George Naff has a unique and superb
approach to teaching students to hear and to discriminate pitch. I have observed
Dr. Naff’s work, and it is amazingly effective. He combines his own approach with
elements of the Kodaly system, and the results begin immediately.
Dr. W. Francis McBeth,

George Naff is one of the most knowledgeable, talented, creative, and
compassionate people I have known. It is a highly rewarding experience to

MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY WIND ENSEMBLE
MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY
Founded in 1878, Mississippi State University is a comprehensive university offering a wide
range of opportunities and challenges for learning and growth to its diverse and capable
21,000+ member student body. More undergraduate students from Mississippi attend MSU
than any other university in the state, and MSU continues to attract the best and brightest
students, with this year’s freshman class posting the highest average ACT score in the state
of Mississippi. The Wall Street Journal also recently reported that Mississippi State has the
highest return on educational investment in the state, which is an indication of the quality
academic programs available to all of its students.
The Department of Music at Mississippi State has a long tradition of excellence in providing
outstanding instruction to both music majors and non-music majors alike. Our roster of
talented faculty members works hard to help students meet their musical goals, whatever
they may be. One of the primary missions of the Department of Music is to prepare quality
music educators for the state and region, but in addition, our graduates are enjoying
success in a wide range of musical careers throughout the United States.
The Wind Ensemble is the premiere instrumental student ensemble at Mississippi State
University. Membership is extended to the most advanced musicians by competitive
audition, regardless of university major. This select group represents the musical student
leadership of the band program and performs in both the Fall and Spring semesters.
Members aspire to elevate individual and collective musicianship and strengthen
performance skills. The ensemble has a tradition of musical excellence and is committed
to playing the finest new works along with the traditional masterpieces of the past. In
addition to multiple campus performances each year, the Wind Ensemble conducts a
regional performance tour annually. The band has been the featured university band
at the Mississippi Bandmasters Association Convention on several occasions and also
for the Mississippi All-State Concert Band. The Wind Ensemble has also served as music
ambassadors for Mississippi State in international performance tours of the British Isles
(2008), Germany and Austria (2011), and Italy (2014).
The band program at Mississippi State University was initiated in 1902 by an act of the Board
of Trustees. Today, over 112 years later, nearly 400 students participate in the band’s seven
major ensembles. The 300+ member Famous Maroon Band performs at Bulldog football
games as well as other university functions as needed. Four concert bands comprise
the concert component of the band program with the Wind Ensemble serving as the
premiere concert band. Students may also participate in jazz band and basketball pep
band in addition to marching and concert bands. Only eight people have served as
Director of Bands during the program’s history: Carl Leake (1911-1919), Henry Wamsley
(1922-1952), W. Thomas West (1952-1967), Peyton Crowder (1967-1978), James Hejl (19781983), Kent Sills (1983-1997), Rod Chesnutt (1999-2002), and Elva Kaye Lance (2002-present.)

MUSIC SELECTION GUIDELINES
STATE CONCERT EVALUATION
Performance Guidelines for MBA/MHSAA State Concert Evaluation
•
All bands must play three (3) pieces of music.
o
Warm Up Piece: Must be a published piece of music, not a chorale or
warm up exercise. Although it is a choice, traditionally the Warm Up
Composition has been a concert march or fanfare style piece.
o
Required Piece: A band must play ONE composition from the
Required Music List in the appropriate classification. As of August
17, 2013 a band’s required piece may come from one list below
their school classification. For example, a 6A band may choose
their required selection from the Class 5A list. Please check the MBA
Required Music List carefully. This list will be listed in the State Clinic
Book as well as on the MBA website. Any additions or changes to the
list will be posted on the MBA Website as soon as they are approved.
Please note that lists posted by music vendors are sometimes not
updated routinely. Please make sure to check the official Required
Music List in the clinic book or on the MBA website.
o
Selected Piece: Bands may choose their Selected Piece. When a
Selected composition is not on the Required Music List the following
must be considered:
o
•
90
•
The Music should be appropriate for State Concert Evaluation.
•
The difficulty should be appropriate for the classification.
•
When learned, the music must be of high quality both
educationally and musically for the benefit of the students
performing the composition.
The same Evaluation piece may not be used more than once in three
years at any event.
Concert Scores
o
You must furnish concert scores for all numbers performed (Warm up,
selected, and required.)
o
Have three scores of each piece of music with your school’s name on
each. Place scores in a large envelope. One envelope of scores per
adjudicator.
o
Original Scores must be submitted for adjudication. NO PHOTOCOPIES
OF SCORES WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT A WRITTEN LETTER FROM THE
PUBLISHER GRANTING THIS PERMISSION. ANY PHOTOCOPIES OF SCORES
USED FOR ADJUDICATION WITHOUT THE WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE
PUBLISHER WILL BE SUBJECT TO COPYRIGHT VIOLATION. ANY WRITTEN
PERMISSION MUST COME FROM THE PUBLISHER AND NOT A MUSIC
VENDOR.
o
Any photocopied scores submitted for adjudication without the
proper written permission will result in the performing band’s rating
being lowered by one division.
o
No custom arrangements of published music will be accepted to take
the place of the REQUIRED piece.
