Kinder HSPVA's MusicFest 2025 is September 14, from 12:30-6:00pm!

Kinder HSPVA is a jewel in Houston and the performances are worth seeing. The kids are amazing and will blow you away with the artistry and skill.

Here's the deets:

Come downtown to Kinder HSPVA to hear 350 student musicians performing across 6 simultaneous venues in 30+ events! CHECK OUT THE 2025 PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE

Your tickets and donations provide the Instrumental and Vocal Music Department budgets. In addition to basic classroom supplies and sheet music, the faculty relies on HSPVA Friends for curriculum essentials like: adjunct faculty for every ensemble; instrument repair and maintenance; music software; partnerships with professional arts organizations like AFA, Houston Grand Opera, and DACAMERA; and elective courses like Ethnomusicology, Careers in Music, Music Citizenship, Music Education, and Music Recording and Production!

 

The purpose of the Commission on the HISD Takeover is to address the growi ng lack of trust in the state takeover and Mike Miles by thoroughly investigating the current conditions within HISD.

 

I posted earlier about forming a professional wind band in Houston, but that's not for everyone. Music is too important to be left to the professionals!

I'm looking for enthusiastic amateurs who want to make some noise. Think New Orleans second line and Balkan bands.

Austin has a crowd of these bands, see https://www.blowcomotion.org/about/austin-brass-bands/

Let me know what instrument you play if you want to join. I've got music and a place to practice. We could even sign up to play at HONK!TX in April!

 

I would like to connect with any Solrite Energy customers to compare your experience. I was excited about getting solar panels, but the sales rep blatantly lied to us about some parts of the agreement, and was very misleading about others.

If Dallas can support a wind symphony, so can Houston. We've got incredible professional musicians who would love to do it, I've asked them! I can conduct it. I need people who will help raise funds and run the marketing. Who's in?!!

So if I open an account with Posteo and then configure it so I’m using Apple’s Mail app on my mobile devices to read the email, am I defeating the privacy and/encription entirely? Posteo does not have a dedicated email client.

This would be a good roller derby player name, too

 

Houston's Community Voices for Public Ed is holding a sickout for parents and students on 2/5.

full details here

  • We need the return of an elected board (more accountability)
  • We need real, authentic learning and full books, not more endless test prep paced without regard for student needs (more learning)
  • We need our schools to be safe, nurturing spaces for our children including wraparound services and immigrant safety (more safety and services)

This is an old one, but an extremely good one: The Lord of the Rings (from 2000). I've found that it works pretty well with as few as 2 players, but even better with more. It's not impossible to find. There are people on the Board Game Geek market selling it for reasonable prices.
