Thanks to all involved
for making this year's ALL-KINGDOM MUSIC FESTIVAL an indisputable success! My favorite quote, from an 11th grade participant: "This was the single greatest thing that has happened to me since moving to Saudi Arabia five years ago!" This site will remain up as long as bandwidth permits, as a reference and reminder of the event.

Chet Garber, music director at Jubail Academy, has agreed to take on the responsibility of coordinating (beginning with "assessing the feasibility of") including an All-Kingdom Choir in this year's festival. At best, we will manage to field a viable group and offer this growth opportunity to our choir students, at worst, we will lay groundwork for including a choir in NEXT YEAR's event... (2/25/02)
We have procured the services of (soon to be Dr.) Edwin Powell, Associate professor and director of bands at University of Tennessee, Knoxville, as our guest conductor and clinician for the band. ISG is in the process of arranging his visa, etc. (Jan. 02).
