Subj: ClarinetFest '97 Registration info
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 1997 17:24:37 -0500

There has recently been some questions regarding how to register for
ClarinetFest '97, the annual conference of the International Clarinet
Association. The easiest way to get information and the proper forms is
to wait for the mailing of the Feb./Mar. issue of THE CLARINET.
Information and registration materials will be included with this issue.
These will include anattractive poster featuring a beautiful West Texas
sunset. If you are not a member of ICA or for some other reason you
would not receive these materials please send me a request at the
address or E-mail address below and I will see that they are sent to
you. Be sure to include your mailing address. Also, you will eventually
be able to download these materials from our website,
http://www.ttu.edu/~music/clarinetfest (incase it doesn't print on this
message, there must be a tilda before music in this address in order for
our university system to accept your request). This will hopefully be
ready by February 1.
